Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building is of special architectural or historic interest (ground (a))
  • Whether the alleged contravention of section 9(1) or (2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 has occurred as a matter of fact (ground (b))
  • Whether the installation of UPVC windows constitutes a contravention of listed building control (ground (c))
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to bring the building to the state it would have been in if the terms and conditions of listed building consent had been complied with (ground (k))

What decided it

The UPVC windows have significantly affected the character and appearance of the listed building, constituting a contravention of section 9 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, and no listed building consent was granted for the works.
