Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 'Old Post House', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Yealand Conyers and Redmayne Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of plastic pipework designed to replicate cast iron, which would be inherently inauthentic and continue to detract from local distinctiveness and the historic sense of place, combined with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the identified harm to the heritage asset.
