Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the removal of iron railings and partial demolition of the brick boundary wall constitutes a contravention of section 9 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990

What decided it

The Inspector's finding on the balance of probabilities that the iron railings are likely to be early Victorian and pre-date the 1958 listing of Sion Hill House, and therefore form part of the listed building requiring consent for their removal.
