Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the grade I listed building Holy Trinity Church and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Leeds City Centre Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area by obscuring sky views through the tower's upper windows, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits because the appellant failed to robustly establish that no suitable alternative sites existed.
