Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the unauthorised removal of 15 historic timber window frames from the rear elevation and their replacement with uPVC window frames causes harm to the significance of the listed building such that the enforcement notice should be upheld

What decided it

The uPVC windows cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building with no counter-weighing public benefits, as alternative window solutions are available that would better preserve the historic character.
