Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve the listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and, linked to that, whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this less than substantial but considerable heritage harm.
