Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the unauthorised works to the listed building have affected its special architectural or historic interest and whether listed building consent should be granted or refused for retention of those works
What decided it
The Inspector's assessment of whether each set of works resulted in loss of significance to the heritage asset, with consent granted where changes were reversible or did not affect intrinsic historic value, and refused where clear harm to significance occurred with no offsetting public benefits.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
