Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building
- Whether the proposal would preserve the settings of the nearby Grade I listed building Church of St Chad, Holme Lane and the nearby Grade II listed building The Vicarage, Holme Lane
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets by failing to preserve the settings of the listed buildings, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.

- LP17LP25LP26Policy 4Policy 12
