Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is necessary and reasonable in the interests of the character and appearance of the host building and to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Staveley Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of uPVC windows would harmfully diminish the significance of the non-designated heritage asset and its contribution to the conservation area through loss of traditional materials and introduction of non-authentic modern materials, and this less than substantial but considerable harm outweighs the limited private benefits to the appellant.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the non-designated heritage asset outweighed the limited private benefits of improved maintenance and living conditions.
