Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and its effect on the setting of the conservation area as related to its significance
What decided it
The loss of consistency in window placement across the listed building's characteristic post-modernist design could not be justified by the modest public benefits of improved bathroom ventilation, which could be achieved through less harmful alternative methods.
