Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of this listed building, and whether they would harm its significance and, if harm would be caused, whether this is outweighed by public benefits
What decided it
The proposed external alterations would cause moderate less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building by making the extensions visually more dominant and diminishing the prominence of the original 17th century element, and this harm is not outweighed by the public benefits of energy efficiency improvements.
