Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposed removal of a section of wall containing historic openings would impair the building's historic legibility and reduce its authenticity, and the public benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh this harm to the designated heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202Paragraph 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.
