  • Whether the proposed development and works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Number 1, Bank Buildings, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposed development would preserve the Grade II listed building and its special architectural and historic interest, particularly by leaving the significant front elevation untouched and ensuring the rear extension appears subservient to the host building.
