Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on the special architectural and historic interest of this Grade II listed building known as 11-13 Lemon Hill and the impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Mylor Bridge Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and conservation area caused by the visible difference between double-glazed panes and the historic single-glazed windows, which would erode the uniformity of the façade, outweighs the limited public benefits of thermal efficiency when an existing consent for single-glazed replacement is available.
