Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the appeal property and whether the replacement windows and door preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area

What decided it

The replacement windows and door, despite stylistic similarity, have a negative impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area due to their thicker frames, modern finish, and use of non-traditional materials, and the private benefits to the owners do not outweigh this harm.
