Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Langham Conservation Area

What decided it

The public benefits of improved insulation and noise reduction were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area caused by the unsympathetic design of the proposed UPVC windows.

The less than substantial harm to the heritage asset and appearance of the conservation area outweighed the limited environmental and noise benefits of the proposal.
