Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the submitted drawings are sufficiently accurate and unambiguous to allow proper assessment of the proposal's effects on the Grade II listed building, nearby listed buildings, and the conservation area

What decided it

The numerous and substantial discrepancies and uncertainties in the submitted drawings rendered it impossible to properly assess the proposal's compliance with statutory duties under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and relevant local plan policies.
