Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed works on the special interest of the Grade II listed building
- Whether the character or appearance of the conservation area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The proposed UPVC windows and composite door would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the modest public benefits from improved energy efficiency do not justify this less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets.
