Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Hollybank, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The proposed extension would be disproportionately large relative to the existing extensions and historic core, competing with the visual dominance of the main building and impairing its historic legibility, and the limited public benefits do not provide clear and convincing justification to outweigh this less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building's significance.
