Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed works would preserve a grade II listed building, YHA Hostel, Fountain Square and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether the proposed works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Youlgreave Conservation Area, and whether they would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The harm to the heritage assets from introducing modern double glazing to a historic Victorian shopfront was not outweighed by public benefits that could equally be achieved through more traditional single glazing alternatives.
