Authority: Birmingham City Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Appeal against Enforcement Listed Building Notice/Enforcement Conservation Area Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Other minor developments
Inspector: Shields T
Postcode: B16 8XF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the building remains listed and of special architectural or historic interest
Whether the works constitute a contravention of sections 7 and 8 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990
Whether listed building consent should be granted for the installation of the uPVC windows
Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to restore the building to its condition before the works

What decided it

The uPVC windows have a clearly modern appearance contrasting sharply and inappropriately with the traditional and historic fabric and character of the listed building, failing to preserve its special architectural and historic interest in conflict with section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
