Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve a Grade II listed building, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposed double-glazed windows would not preserve the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building, and the modest energy efficiency benefits claimed did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm caused.
The less-than-substantial harm to the special interest and significance of the listed building, attracting great weight, was not outweighed by the negligible public benefits of improved energy efficiency.
