Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade II listed building, the Abbey Church of Christ the King
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposals would have a harmful effect on protected species
What decided it
The heritage benefits arising from securing the future active use of the listed building as an exhibition space outweighed the modest less than substantial harm identified to the listed building itself.
