Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the replacement windows would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Twyford Conservation Area and the effect of the replacement windows on the setting of the adjacent grade II listed building

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the adjacent listed building caused by the loss of historic window detailing was not outweighed by the limited public benefit of the building's continued occupation.

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting was weighed against the limited public benefit of the building's occupation as a dental practice, with the harm outweighing the benefit.
