Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works preserve the building, its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses
What decided it
The signage, by its size and scale, dominates and detracts from the simple architectural form and character of the grade I listed building, causing less than substantial harm to its special interest that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
