Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Alston Conservation Area
What decided it
The absence of appropriately scaled drawings, detailed specifications, and a heritage significance assessment makes it impossible to assess whether the proposed uPVC windows would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Alston Conservation Area, contrary to section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and NPPF paragraph 194.
