Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building Shuttles and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hunsden Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would have an acceptable effect on archaeology
What decided it
The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, being less than substantial but at the lower end of that range, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal, particularly given the absence of evidence that the works were necessary to secure the building's optimum viable use.
