Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the listed building or any features of historical or architectural interest
What decided it
The ahistorical and discordant details of the proposed replacement windows, combined with insufficient information about the proposed entrance door and the lack of a detailed historic assessment, meant the works would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits of increased street surveillance and improved energy efficiency.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DEV21
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 192Paragraph 194
