Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve a grade II listed building, 11-23 York Street and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the proposed works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clitheroe Conservation Area, and whether they would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The ornate and embellished design of the proposed gates would be at odds with the understated appearance and refined simplicity of the listed building, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to the heritage assets that is not outweighed by the public benefits which could be achieved through alternative designs.
