Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II* listed building, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would not preserve the Grade II* listed building's special architectural and historic interest because the replacement windows would lack the integral glazing bars and traditional joinery characteristics of the existing fenestration, and the identified harm to the heritage asset was not outweighed by the minor public benefits claimed.
