Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Brock Burn House and attached cottage to left, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The proposed replacement windows would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building through their visual and dimensional differences from the existing windows, and the identified public benefits were insufficient to clearly and convincingly justify this harm.
