Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the changes to the shopfront, installation of the entrance door and the insertion of modern casement windows preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Ickenham Village Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, though less than substantial, was not outweighed by the undemonstrated public benefits claimed by the appellant, requiring dismissal under heritage conservation policy.
