The UPVC windows cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset, and the private benefits of thermal efficiency and maintenance are insufficient to outweigh the great weight required to be given to conservation of the heritage asset.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 29 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2011-2036 Adopted March 2019
- National Planning Policy Framework
