Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building
  • whether or not the public benefits of the proposal would outweigh any harm to the listed building, including securing its optimum viable use

What decided it

The proposal represents the optimum viable use of the listed building, which provided clear and convincing justification for the harm identified.

The considerable weight attributed to the less than substantial harm to the listed building was outweighed by the public benefits of securing the building's optimum viable use, together with moderate weight for housing delivery and limited weight for economic benefits.
