Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether listed building consent should be granted for the external metal staircase, internal suspended ceiling with lighting, and new shop front, or whether the enforcement notice should be upheld

What decided it

The new shop front's modern design and conspicuous appearance in the street frontage causes harm to the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building that cannot be outweighed by public benefits, whereas the external staircase and internal works do not materially affect the building's heritage significance.
