Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as Village Shop, Wath House, Wood Close, and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ripley Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building and character of the conservation area from the proposed extension and internal alterations was not outweighed by the public benefits, as no clear and convincing justification was demonstrated and less harmful alternatives could achieve similar outcomes.
