Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the grade II listed building known as 63 Quayside or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, being less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited private benefits of the contemporary signage and shopfront alterations, particularly as the appellant already had permission for less harmful alternatives.
