Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II* listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate that uPVC replacement windows would preserve the special interest and architectural merit of the Grade II* listed building, particularly given the critical importance of fenestration as an architectural feature and the lack of evidence that repair was not feasible.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 208
