Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the windows, door and panelling on the character and appearance of the property and the street scene, and whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Severn Gorge Conservation Area and the effect of the development on the significance of the UNESCO Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site

What decided it

The UPVC windows and door cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the World Heritage Site, which is not outweighed by any public benefits.

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the World Heritage Site was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the cost implications for the appellant were personal rather than public.
