Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tredegar Conservation Area
What decided it
The intrinsic harm to the heritage significance of the Grade II listed building caused by the rooftop air conditioning units and associated external works could not be outweighed by any public benefits, as the improvement to occupiers' living conditions constituted only a private benefit.
