Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the scheme on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, and on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The public benefits of improved thermal efficiency do not outweigh the harm to the significance of the listed building caused by the loss of existing historic sashes and windows, particularly where the windows are in good condition and alternative conservation measures are available.
