Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Albans Conservation Area and its effect on the building's status as a locally listed building

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the locally listed building and character of the Conservation Area through the replacement of fine decorative timber framing with bulkier UPVC framing, with insufficient detail to demonstrate preservation of the shopfront's heritage value, and minimal public benefit to offset this harm.
