Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether planning permission and listed building consent should be granted for the installation of 3 no. rooflights to the main roof area and demolition of a roof access hatch

What decided it

The modest size and internal positioning of the rooflights, combined with the fact that the butterfly roof form (the key heritage element) remains unaltered, means there is no harm to the significance of the listed building.
