Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the works have preserved the Grade II listed building known as 'Numbers 87-121 and Attached Railings', or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The public benefits claimed (improved stability, energy efficiency, and residential functionality) were not sufficiently evidenced or necessary, and therefore do not outweigh the considerable harm to the significance of the listed building.

The considerable importance and weight ascribed to the heritage harm to the listed building was not outweighed by the public benefits claimed, which were found to be insufficient or private rather than public in nature
