Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The public benefits of the development were insufficient to outweigh the great weight to be given to the less than substantial harm caused to the Grade II listed building's special interest and significance, and there was no clear and convincing justification for that harm.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy H14Policy BE5Policy BE15Policy BE19
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 195Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
