Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the listed buildings or their setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, assessed as less than substantial but of considerable importance, was not outweighed by the public benefits proposed, and the works would conflict with the statutory presumptions in sections 16(2) and 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
