Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the grade II listed building
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Winchester Conservation Area
- If harm is identified, whether there are any public benefits sufficient to outweigh that harm
What decided it
The moderate public benefits of providing an EV charging parking space do not outweigh the harm to the listed building's special interest and the conservation area's character, particularly given the loss of irreplaceable historic fabric and the visual importance of medieval flint and stone walls to the area's character.
