Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would fail to preserve the special architectural or historic interest of the building and cause harm to its significance
- Whether the works would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Ashton Conservation Area and harm its significance
- If harm would be caused to the significance of either or both designated heritage assets, whether that harm would be outweighed by public benefits
What decided it
The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area caused by the loss of the distinctive simple, light window design was not outweighed by the public benefit of improved energy efficiency.
