Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building is so degraded that it no longer is worthy of listing (ground (a))
  • Whether the unauthorised works cause harm to the significance of the listed building and whether that harm is justified (grounds (e), (h) and (i))

What decided it

The submission of a revised shopfront design with timber frames and slimline glazing, in accordance with the Council's original advice, remedied the harm to the listed building's significance and made the works acceptable.

The harm to the significance of the asset, although relatively minor, carries great weight, but is easily remedied by the revised shopfront design; no public benefits are required to offset the harm as the remedy is available.
