Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal, with particular regard to the inclusion of a rooflight, would preserve a Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

The rooflight would create an incongruent, inauthentic detail that harms the special interest of the Grade II listed building, and no public benefits were identified to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
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.
