Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses; preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Shenley Conservation Area and cause any harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets
What decided it
The cumulative harmful effect of the internal alterations and other changes to the historic fabric and plan form of the listed building could not be justified by the identified public benefits, which were insufficient to outweigh the great weight to be given to the harm to the designated heritage asset.
