Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the fenestration on the side elevation of the extension as constructed has preserved or enhanced the character or appearance of the Ramsgate Conservation Area
- Whether the fenestration on the side elevation of the extension as constructed has preserved the setting of the Grade II listed buildings known as 15 and 19-21 Harbour Street
What decided it
The use of uPVC frames instead of the approved aluminium sashes, combined with smaller windows and Juliet balconies that departed from the approved design, caused less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets that could not be justified by the public benefits of the development.
