®Planning appeal decision
The Manor House, 55 Northumberland Street, Alnmouth, NE66 2RJ
described as ‘The sash windows have not been changed since at least 1999 when the property was purchased. The windows do not open and therefore cannot provide ventilation to mitigate against any dampness. The proposal is to replace the 3 existing sash windows and associated secondary glazing at the front of the property in the original style with grade 1 Redwood sashes and duplicating the original pattern. The work will include slim line double glazed units.’

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Seabank, 55 Northumberland Street, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposed works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Alnmouth Conservation Area
What decided it
The lack of detailed technical drawings and information about window condition made it impossible to confidently determine whether the proposed works would preserve the listed building's special architectural or historic interest or the conservation area's character and appearance.
