Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve the special architectural or historical features of the listed building, and whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The visual incongruity of the uPVC windows and doors with the original timber fenestration of the Grade II listed Victorian villa, combined with the statutory duty to preserve the special architectural features of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, outweighs the claimed environmental benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- HB1HB8HE1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
