Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building, Grosvenor House, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lymington Conservation Area
What decided it
The absence of clear and convincing justification for the external shutters, as alternative security measures such as internal shutters could provide adequate protection without causing harm to the listed building and conservation area.
