Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be acceptable with regard to highway safety

What decided it

The public benefit of improved accessibility, assessed as moderate weight, was insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area, which must be given great weight, particularly given that less harmful alternative access solutions had not been adequately ruled out.
