Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed replacement windows on the significance of designated heritage assets, having particular regard to the Ripley Conservation Area and Elm Tree House, which is a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The proposed UPVC windows would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the Ripley Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building Elm Tree House, and the public benefits of improved thermal efficiency do not outweigh this harm as the same benefits could be achieved through high performance timber windows.
