Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the New River Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area by introducing a gate and stairway into the historic lightwell, and this harm could not be justified by the private benefit claimed, which was insufficient and not substantiated as necessary for the building's viable use.
