Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The uPVC windows with their heavy, crude frames compete with rather than complement the fine ornate detailing of the building's façade, causing less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area that cannot be justified by the limited public benefits identified.
