Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve the Grade II listed buildings, 93 and 94 High Street, Rye, and the features of special architectural or historic interest that they possess
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the site's location within the Rye Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at nos 92, 95 and 95a
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, assessed as less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the scheme, and the proposal failed to preserve the special interest of the listed buildings and the character of the conservation area.
