Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area caused by the introduction of uPVC framed windows and doors, which would contrast significantly with the traditional wooden frames that characterise the area, outweighed the benefits of thermal and acoustic improvement.
The benefits of upgrading the property and improving its thermal and acoustic performance were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
