Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building The Rosary, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the East Markham Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would dominate the front elevation and disrupt the carefully composed façade and linear form of the Grade II listed building through its significant width, height, and incongruous Gothic design, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, which could not be justified by any public benefits.
