Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the listed buildings, or their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Scaldwell Conservation Area
What decided it
The considerable harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, particularly the loss of historic fabric and the introduction of incongruous modern elements that would diminish the open verdant character of the listed building's setting, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
