Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works preserve Street End Cottage, its setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.
What decided it
The replacement doors and windows fail to preserve the special interest and significance of the listed building through their use of modern composite and uPVC materials that are antithetical to historic integrity and craftsmanship, and the public benefits offered do not provide clear and convincing justification for this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- HER2 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031SD3 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
