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 Letwell Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal's scale, massing and extensive glazing would compromise the significance of the Grade II listed building and fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Letwell Conservation Area, with the minor public benefits insufficient to outweigh the considerable harm to designated heritage assets.
