Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve this Grade I listed building, and whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area within which it falls
What decided it
The absence of detailed information reasonably required to support the applications, combined with the potential adverse effects to the special interest of the Grade I listed building and the lack of significant public benefits to outweigh that harm, led to dismissal.
The considerable importance and weight attached to the resultant harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset outweighed the private aspirations of the appellant, as no significant public benefits were identified to justify the works
