Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Meads Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed PVCu window replacement would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Meads Conservation Area, and the limited private benefits claimed do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.
