Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Grade II Listed building
  • Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Marbury Conservation Area

What decided it

The public benefits of the proposal, comprising modest economic benefits and moderate heritage benefits from selective repairs, were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of both the listed building and the conservation area.
