Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the significance of the Grade II listed building known as Grigshot Cottages and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses; and whether the character or appearance of the Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The removal of traditional windows that are integral to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and make a positive contribution to the conservation area, combined with the failure to demonstrate that replacement rather than repair was necessary, resulted in unjustified harm to designated heritage assets that outweighed the moderate public benefits.
