Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building is one of special architectural or historic interest (ground a)
- Whether the works were urgently necessary in the interests of safety, health or preservation (ground d)
- Whether listed building consent ought to be granted for the works (ground e)
- Whether the steps required would restore the character of the building to its former state (ground i)
- Whether the steps required exceed what is necessary to alleviate the effect of the works (ground j)
- Whether the steps required exceed what is necessary to bring the building to the state it would have been in if listed building consent had been complied with (ground k)
- Whether the period specified for compliance is reasonable (ground h)
What decided it
The replacement UPVC windows caused less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, and the public benefits in thermal performance did not outweigh this harm as similar benefits could be secured through more appropriate window designs.
