Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the streetscene and wider locality
What decided it
The windows would appear as unconvincing, incongruous additions lacking architectural merit and would not be in keeping with the traditional character and appearance of the original dwelling and streetscene, and this harm could not be overcome by the environmental benefits of the triple glazing.
