This decision was appealed
Appeal allowed
The proposal involved alterations and refurbishment works to the Railway Station building, including an outdoor canopy and creation of an internal retail area (in association with application 14/00892/CON). The appeal issues focused on whether the works would harm the character and integrity of the Registered Building, its setting, and its architectural and historic features. A key point in the appeal was the north wall of the Ticket Hall, including the loss of ticket windows and a route map, and how the new mezzanine would relate to that north wall. The appeal grounds referenced the north wing alterations and certain 20th century additions as detrimental and not worthy of retention. The official portal records the application as Permitted (approved).
The official baseline portal decision for application 14/00891/GB is Permitted/approved. The provided evidence relates to appeal matters concerning impacts on the Registered Building, but the portal decision outcome is the recorded public determination.
