Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, 11-23 Newell Street, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Anne's Church Conservation Area
What decided it
The mansard roof extension would fundamentally alter the historic 'M' shaped roof form identified by Historic England as a defining feature of the Georgian terrace, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building and conservation area that cannot be justified by the public benefits identified.
