Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the external shutters upon the character and appearance of the Enfield Town Conservation Area

What decided it

The external shutters fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, causing less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset with no identified public benefits to outweigh this harm, and alternative security measures are available that would be more sensitive to the heritage context.
