Authority: South Somerset District Council *
Appeal type: enforcement · Appeal against Enforcement Listed Building Notice/Enforcement Conservation Area Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Jarratt P
Postcode: TA18 7HY

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the works to the building were urgently necessary in the interest of safety, health or preservation of the building
Whether listed building consent should be granted for the works carried out
Whether the steps for restoring the character of the building to its former state would serve any purpose
Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary for restoring the building to its condition before the works were carried out

What decided it

The Inspector determined that whilst most works could be accepted as they do not materially harm the building's heritage value or conservation area character, the uPVC windows on the Abbey Street elevation and rainwater goods on the public elevations must be restored to traditional materials to preserve the building's external appearance and the character of the conservation area.
