Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Longstock Conservation Area

What decided it

The systematic replacement of mixed window styles with uniform Hampshire casement windows would fail to preserve the architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and the public benefits would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets.
