Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses, and whether its significance as a heritage asset would be preserved.
What decided it
The substantial public and heritage benefits of securing the building's long-term conservation and optimum viable use outweighed the less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building.
The public benefits (heritage conservation, securing long-term use, family connection) attracting substantial weight outweighed the great weight given to the less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building.
