Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The proposed aluminium door would be an alien insertion that fails to preserve the character and appearance of the Grade II listed building, and the negligible public benefits from improved thermal performance do not outweigh the less than substantial harm caused.
