Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The relatively small amount of historic fabric to be removed, combined with the re-use of cut joists and retention of the majority of the historic ceiling, means the proposed works would not affect the appreciation or understanding of the listed building's special interest.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
