Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposed development on the character and appearance of Greta Lodge, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Keswick Conservation Area and whether it would preserve the setting of the Grade I listed Greta Hall
What decided it
The proposed uPVC windows would harm the historical architectural character of Greta Lodge and fail to preserve the character and appearance of Keswick Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade I listed Greta Hall, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.
