Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The extensive glazing to the front, side and rear elevations would be overly dominating and would unduly detract from the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, and the public benefits did not outweigh this high level of less than substantial harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DE1Policy EN10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 213Paragraph 215
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.
