Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as 'Trout Hall' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building by causing loss of historic fabric through replacement with inauthentic double-glazed doors, and the identified public benefits do not outweigh this harm to the designated heritage asset.
