Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lydd Conservation Area
What decided it
The prevalence of uPVC windows on this side of New Street and the careful design of the proposed frames, combined with the reinstatement of a sash window design consistent with the neighbouring property, meant the proposals would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
