Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area

What decided it

The loss of traditional timber windows to be replaced with PVCu windows would have a negative impact on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and the public benefits arising from the proposal would not outweigh the great weight to be given to the conservation of the heritage asset.
