Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed variation of condition No 1 is appropriate in respect of the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Skircoat Green Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed UPVC window frames would introduce modern materials of differing proportions and detail that would appear incongruous and obtrusive in the traditional terrace, failing to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Skircoat Green Conservation Area, with no identified public benefits to outweigh the harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE1, Policy BE18
