Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Ground (e): the effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building
- Ground (g): whether the notice requirements exceed what is necessary for restoring the building to its condition before the works were carried out
- Ground (h): whether the period specified in the notice for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
- Ground (j): whether the steps required by s38(2)(b) exceed what is necessary to alleviate the effect of the works executed
- Ground (k): whether the steps required by s38(2)(c) exceed what is necessary to bring the building to the state it would have been in if the terms and conditions of listed building consent had been complied with
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the special interest of the listed building from the unauthorised works, particularly the sub-basement and alterations to floor/ceiling levels disrupting the historic functional hierarchy, was serious and not outweighed by the limited public benefits advanced by the appellant.
