Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Crusader House' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The removal of internal walls and historic fabric, combined with the lack of detailed justification and specifications for the proposed works, results in harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building that is not outweighed by the identified public benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE1 of the Dover District Local Plan to 2040
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202Paragraph 207Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
