Council decision dated 7 July 2026 with 17 conditions, explicitly not a final grant. Official ACP case 501873 records the appeal as invalid because it was late under S.127(1)(g), signed 13 August 2026. A later final grant or approved construction detail has not been inspected; this case must not be labelled a pending appeal.
The council decision covers one combined 37-bedroom hotel
Council decision; final detail not established · Exact council application 2660422: integrated warehouse, Alms House and courtyard proposal
What the evidence says
The decision describes the protected warehouse and adjoining Alms House being integrated into a combined 37-bedroom boutique hotel, with a new orangery in the connecting courtyard. It relates the warehouse changes to earlier permissions 23/60157 and 25/60862, and the Alms House extensions to 22/1002 and 25/60814. The bedroom additions described within these elements must not be added again to the combined total.

Seventeen Conditions
Original slate and reusable timber are subject to conservation assessments
Council decision; final detail not established · Condition 4 for the historic structures; no replacement quantity is specified
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires timber and slate method statements before demolition. It asks for assessment of timber loss and reuse, retention of as much sound original slate as possible, and an informed salvage rate. Replacement slate needs written approval before reroofing and must match the existing size, colour, thickness and texture.
Condition 4 for the historic structures; no replacement quantity is specified
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies conservation-led roofing and timber work while preserving the assessment and approval requirements.
What is not established
The selected record does not establish an agreed salvage percentage, replacement volume, product or completed work.

Masonry work requires mortar analysis and sample panels
Council decision; final detail not established · Council-conditioned repair and cleaning of historic masonry
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires analysis of existing mortar from each elevation, a proposed lime-mortar conservation method and sample panels of at least one metre square. External masonry cleaning and ground-floor paint removal also require an agreed sample before wider application.
Council-conditioned repair and cleaning of historic masonry
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: specifies the investigation and sample-approval stages before widespread facade work.
What is not established
A later approved mortar mix, cleaning system or completed facade is not established.

Energy upgrades must address vapour and concealed services
Council decision; final detail not established · Council condition for upgrades to the protected structures; a selected heating system is not named
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires a conservation-led method statement for energy upgrading, including materials and application techniques. It must explain ventilation and water-vapour management. Sanitary and ventilation pipework is to be boxed internally and external plant concealed from the street elevations.
Council condition for upgrades to the protected structures; a selected heating system is not named
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the envelope and services coordination requirement without inventing a heat-pump or ventilation specification.
What is not established
No approved upgrade package, energy performance, equipment selection or installation is established.

Painted timber shopfront details remain subject to agreement
Council decision; final detail not established · Earlier shopfront proposal read alongside later conditions; not a final approved shopfront schedule
What the evidence says
The conservation proposal describes painted timber pilasters and fascias, triple-panel timber-framed ground-floor windows with arched heads, and raised matt-finish lettering. The later council decision requires external finish details and sample window-frame agreement, including review of the proposed double-glazed frame thickness.
Earlier shopfront proposal read alongside later conditions; not a final approved shopfront schedule
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: preserves the proposed material language and the subsequent approval boundary.
What is not established
Final window sections, glazing products, lettering approval and installed joinery are not established.

The later condition restricts the earlier aluminium-link proposal
Council decision; final detail not established · May proposal versus July council restriction; a later compliant link detail has not been inspected
What the evidence says
The May conservation report proposes an aluminium-framed glazed link between the Alms House and warehouse. The July council decision subsequently states that uPVC, aluminium and timber-effect external finishes are not permitted and requires written approval of the finish details. The earlier aluminium proposal must therefore not be presented as the final selected material.
May proposal versus July council restriction; a later compliant link detail has not been inspected
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: exposes the material change required by the later decision instead of treating the proposal as a current equipment or facade order.
What is not established
The selected records do not establish a compliant replacement frame, later written approval, final grant or installation.
