Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as '13 and 14 Bordyke' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The loss of historic fabric and use of incongruent modern materials (aluminium and double glazing) would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, and the public benefits of improved energy efficiency were insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
