Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the listed building including any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The proposed works would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building through the loss of hand-painted signage and incorrect siting of the hanging sign, and no public benefits were articulated to outweigh the identified less than substantial harm.
