Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed works on the significance of the Grade II listed buildings, St Andrews Centre

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the listed buildings through the visual and physical intrusion of the extension, which would obscure historic features and compromise the buildings' relationship, was not outweighed by the public benefits claimed, as the appellant failed to demonstrate the extension was necessary for the buildings' continued viable use as a meditation centre.
