Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as '23-29 Lodge Road', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Little Houghton Conservation Area
What decided it
The public benefits of thermal efficiency from UPVC double glazing were insufficient to outweigh the great weight to be given to the less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area caused by the loss of historic windows and the subsuming of the original rear façade.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of thermal efficiency and environmental gains from the proposed UPVC windows and extension.
