Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building
- The effect of the works on the character and appearance of the Bank Top Conservation Area
What decided it
The pragmatic approach considering the particular circumstances including previous Council permissions, combined with the reasonably sympathetic design of the replacement windows and the existing variety in window treatments across the listed terrace, led the Inspector to conclude the works would preserve rather than harm the heritage assets.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CG3.4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 201
