Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve Numbers 58 to 62, 63 to 65 and 66 Myddelton Square and attached railings and gatepiers, a Grade II Listed Building, or its setting, and any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve the character or appearance of New River Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II Listed Building and the New River Conservation Area, to which great weight must be attached, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposals.
The moderate public benefits of improved thermal performance, fire safety and damp reduction did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets, to which great weight was attached.
