Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed works on the special interest and heritage significance of the Grade II listed building
- whether or not the proposed works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the architectural and historic interest of the listed building and conservation area from the loss of historic fabric and alteration of window appearance outweighs the limited energy efficiency benefits, except for window W9 which is located in a modern rear extension where no heritage harm would occur.
