Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of the heritage asset of the Grade II* listed building, Grimsdyke or any features of special interest that it possesses, and the effect on the Grade II registered Historic Park and Garden, and whether the character and appearance of the Grimsdyke Estate and Brookshill Drive Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
- The effect on ecology and biodiversity with specific regard to bats
What decided it
The material harm to heritage assets caused by replacing authentic timber windows with modern UPVC windows was not outweighed by the identified public benefits, as no substantive evidence demonstrated this was the only way to achieve those benefits.
