Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development and works would preserve the listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the character or appearance of the conservation area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The public benefits of the proposed development, including some investment in the building fabric and thermal efficiency improvements, were insufficient to outweigh the considerable importance and weight that even less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset carries.
