Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the rear door and staircase already existed and have merely been replaced (ground c)
- Whether the two windows inserted in the side wall constitute a contravention of planning control (ground a)
What decided it
The two windows inserted in the side wall caused less than substantial harm to the listed building by altering its traditional functional appearance and causing loss of historic fabric, with no offsetting public benefits.
The marginal benefit of providing poor natural light to upper floor rooms did not outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the listed building's character through loss of historic fabric and alteration of its traditional functional appearance.
