Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works would preserve a listed building or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses, and linked to that whether the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area from the visually incongruous appearance of the panels on the south-facing roof would outweigh the public benefits of improved energy efficiency.
