Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic and architectural interest of the grade II listed building and would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with the private benefits to the nursery insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
