Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the works upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as The Red Lion Hotel
  • Whether the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lambourn Conservation Area

What decided it

The replacement windows fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the public benefits of improved security and ventilation do not outweigh the considerable harm caused.
