Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ashwell Conservation Area and linked to this whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade II Listed 5-11 Water Lane

What decided it

The proposed PVCU windows would not result in a significant change to the appearance of the dwelling or its contribution to the conservation area, and would preserve the setting of the nearby listed building.

The sustainability and energy efficiency benefits of PVCU windows were weighed against heritage concerns, with the Inspector finding that given the heritage findings, the use of artificial materials did not justify refusing permission.
