Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the building, the Conservation area and the setting of a listed building
What decided it
The proposed windows would be incompatible with the original characteristic sash windows in the conservation area and would cause less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset and moderate harm to the non-designated heritage asset, which cannot be outweighed by the limited energy efficiency benefits.
