Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Grand Union Canal Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building, Bridge No. 27
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets caused by the incongruous design, materials and roof forms of the proposed extensions was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of renovation and energy efficiency improvements.
