Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building
What decided it
The listed building enforcement notice was quashed because it did not specify with sufficient clarity the steps required for compliance, particularly the method of paint removal and the scope of works, and any correction would cause injustice to the appellant.

- Development plan policies
- DEC1DEC5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
