Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, or its setting, 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 Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale, massing and design of the proposed three-storey building would harm the significance of the Grade II listed building and Conservation Area by appearing prominent and discordant rather than subordinate, and this considerable heritage harm was not outweighed by the moderate economic and tourism benefits of the scheme.
