Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the insertion of 3 pairs of French doors into the eastern elevation of the Agricola Quad would preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wye Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the preservation of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area outweighed the limited public benefit of direct access to private terraces.
