Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposals would preserve a Grade II listed building, and any special features of architectural or historic interest it possesses
Whether the character or appearance of the Richmond Riverside Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced

What decided it

The piecemeal replacement of windows in one oriel bay with double-glazed units would result in visual inconsistency with the regular fenestration pattern of the elevation and introduce harmful changes to the appearance of the listed building and Conservation Area that cannot be justified by the energy efficiency benefits claimed.
