Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposals would preserve the Grade II listed building, 5 Saturday Market Place, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses; and the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of St Margarets Conservation Area
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to internal space and private amenity space

What decided it

The harm to the special interest and significance of the Grade II listed building caused by demolition of the curtilage outbuilding, combined with poor living conditions for future occupiers, outweighs the public benefits of the proposal.
