Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and the area, with particular regard to whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the King's Lynn Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the King's Lynn Conservation Area caused by the replacement of traditional timber windows with non-traditional UPVC windows, which conflicts with the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the conservation area and development plan policies, outweighs the limited public benefits of addressing the poor state of repair.
