Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the Old Church Lane Conservation Area and the setting of a grade II listed wall
What decided it
The proposal lacks sufficient clarity on the precise materials, profile, detail and colour of the replacement windows, preventing satisfaction that they would complement the dwelling and avoid harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed wall.
