Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the consequences of varying condition 2 would preserve the grade II listed buildings, or their setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess
- Whether the consequences of varying condition 2 would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Over Kellet Conservation Area
- Whether the consequences of varying condition 2 would have a detrimental effect on highway safety (Appeal A only)
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed buildings and conservation area caused by the unauthorised works, combined with the absence of evidence that the approved scheme was unviable, meant the public benefits did not outweigh the considerable heritage harm.
