Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ashbrooke Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed PVCu windows would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area as they would not be an accurate replica of the original timber windows and would remove important historical features, and the practical benefits to occupiers do not constitute sufficient public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
