Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building

What decided it

The public benefits of securing a new use for the at-risk building as a place of worship did not justify the unacceptable harm to the listed building's special interest, as the extent of harmful interventions had not been clearly and convincingly justified as essential.
