Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the submitted details intended to discharge condition 6 would preserve particular features of the Building and therefore preserve the Building itself and the features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The absence of specific detail about which timbers would be cleaned, lack of condition survey or assessment of historic and evidential interest, and the use of an imprecise and potentially abrasive cleaning method without adequate evidential basis meant the proposal could not demonstrably preserve the Building's special architectural or historic interest.
Plan policies cited: Saved Policy EN1 of the Wealden Local Plan 1998, Policy SPO2 of the Core Strategy 2013
