Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as Nos 44 to 62 (even) Church Street, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The harmful visual impact of uPVC windows and door on the special interest of the listed building and conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the harm to heritage significance.

Framework references: 199, 202
