Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Westoe Conservation Area
What decided it
The replacement of timber windows with UPVC would introduce a material finish with artificial texture and uniform appearance that would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and conflict with Policy DM6, with claimed private benefits insufficient to outweigh the harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 196
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.
