Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the retention of the windows and doors preserve a Grade II* listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • Whether the appeal scheme preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Ware Conservation Area

What decided it

The replacement windows and doors fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II* listed building and the significance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits are insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to these designated heritage assets.
