What decided it
The significant environmental impact from the unsympathetic alterations to the building's front elevation windows would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and self-build provision.
The significant environmental harm from the proposed window alterations significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply, viability of the village, and self-build provision, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
