Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the significance of heritage assets

What decided it

The proposal would cause substantial harm to the non-designated heritage asset by eroding the significance of its modest original form through the dominating scale and sprawl of the replacement extensions, which would not be outweighed by modernisation benefits.
