Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the street scene and whether it would preserve or enhance the Acton Town Centre Conservation Area

What decided it

The thicker UPVC frames, casement operation, and trickle vents create a visually disruptive appearance that harms the character and significance of the conservation area, and the public benefits of energy efficiency do not outweigh this less than substantial harm.
