Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Number 8 and attached railings', and any features of special historic interest that it possesses
- the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Leamington Spa Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, attracting great weight and considerable importance, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.
the considerable public benefits from climate change/energy efficiency measures and other limited benefits were outweighed by the great weight given to conservation of the listed building and the considerable weight given to the less than substantial harm identified, tipping the balance against the proposal
