Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as '27 and 28, Station Street' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lewes Conservation Area
What decided it
The replacement windows would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building and would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the public benefits of improved thermal efficiency and noise reduction were insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SD12SD13SD14SD15HC3B
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208Paragraph 164
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
