Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed replacement windows on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area, bearing in mind the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The proposed uPVC windows would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area that cannot be outweighed by the thermal and acoustic benefits, as these could be achieved through alternative replacement windows.
