Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building
What decided it
The formation of a new doorway opening in the end wall would harm the building's significance by obscuring its historic plan form, and the private benefits to occupiers could not outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
