Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the LDC was well-founded
What decided it
The proposed PVC sash windows would precisely replicate the existing timber windows in design and appearance such that the external appearance of the building taken as a whole would not be materially changed, and therefore the works do not amount to development within section 55 of the Act.
