Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works proposed would preserve the Grade II listed building, Pendrills, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The public benefits of improved functionality and ongoing conservation do not outweigh the limited but identifiable harm to the significance of the listed building caused by the disruption of its cellular layout and loss of historic fabric.
The harm to the significance of the heritage asset, albeit limited in degree, was not outweighed by the public benefits claimed by the appellant, as those benefits lacked substantive or quantifiable evidence of necessity for long-term conservation.
