Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works would preserve a listed building, its setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses, and whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
  • The effect of the scheme upon the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, and noise disturbance

What decided it

The works would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, the setting of the adjoining listed building, and the character and appearance of the conservation area, with no public benefits to justify this harm, and would also unacceptably affect the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
