Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the rear door and staircase already existed and have merely been replaced
- Whether the two windows inserted in the side wall cause harm to the listed building
What decided it
The two windows inserted in the side wall cause less than substantial harm to the listed building with no offsetting public benefits, and listed building consent is refused for their retention.
The marginal benefit of providing light to upper floor rooms does not outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the listed building by the introduction of windows that detract from its traditional functional appearance.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
