Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area including the Broadway Conservation Area (CA)
- the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining residential properties
What decided it
Appeal A was dismissed due to the incongruous steel framed structure with balustrading and inappropriate uPVC windows lacking vertical glazing bars on the Building of Townscape Merit, which collectively caused unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area that could not be justified by the limited public benefits; Appeal B was allowed because the omission of the steel structure and the use of appropriately detailed timber-framed windows with vertical bars preserved the character and appearance of the heritage asset.
