Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Ffowlers Bucke, and any features of architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the South Harting Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of slimline double-glazed units with a black internal strip would enable removal of visually prominent secondary glazing and introduce a window design reflecting those elsewhere in the conservation area, thereby preserving the listed building's special interest and the conservation area's character.
