Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works would preserve two Grade II listed buildings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess, and whether their significance as heritage assets is preserved

What decided it

The fact that a door opening had previously existed in this location meant that intervention would be minimal and would cause no harm to the listed buildings' special architectural or historic interest or their significance as heritage assets.
