Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the replacement windows preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Colchester Conservation Area 2 in which the appeal property, a locally listed building, is located
What decided it
The replacement UPVC windows fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and the locally listed building, and the public benefits of the proposal do not outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the heritage asset.
