Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works preserve a grade II listed building (Second Street, 18-23 Bazley Street) and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the works preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barrow Bridge Conservation Area
- Whether the works preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the listed building, the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the settings of nearby listed buildings is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing parking and amenity space.
