Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Coggeshall Conservation Area
What decided it
The private benefits of preventing water ingress do not constitute public benefits sufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building, which is an irreplaceable asset.
The less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the benefits were private in nature.
