Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and locality

What decided it

The arches themselves, rather than the glazing arrangement, are the striking visual feature of the frontage, and the proposed bi-fold doors would not diminish this principal architectural characteristic or harm the heritage interest of the conservation area.
