Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the formation of two window openings in the northern elevation of the appeal building and insertion of uPVC window frames and the painting of the exterior of the appeal building preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, whether those works preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area and whether the significance of the heritage assets is harmed
What decided it
The harm caused to the designated heritage assets by the unauthorised works, though less than substantial, was not outweighed by the public benefits, as there was no substantial evidence that the appeal building would not remain viable without these specific works.
