Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve the Grade II listed Wilshaw Village Hall, or any features of special architectural and/or historic character that it possesses
- Whether the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wilshaw Conservation Area
What decided it
The eastern gable window's prominence as the first sight of the Hall when entering the village from the east, combined with the availability of secondary glazing as an alternative, meant the harm from replacement windows would not be outweighed by public benefit, whereas the front, rear and kitchen elevations had sufficient public benefits to justify the harm.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202Paragraph 16
