Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the details submitted are sufficient to ensure the proper recording of the significance of the subject building, a non-designated heritage asset

- Development plan policies
- Policy 41S
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 211
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.
