Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Sheen Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The thick, chunky uPVC window frames cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Sheen Road Conservation Area by being unsympathetic and incongruous within the street scene, and the energy efficiency benefits do not provide sufficient public benefit to outweigh this heritage harm.
