Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the design of the shutters satisfies the specification of the conditions with particular reference to whether they are of 'an open grille nature'
  • What the effect of the details are on the character and appearance of the area paying particular attention to the special interest and significance of the Grade II listed building and whether the Leeds City Centre Conservation Area is preserved or enhanced

What decided it

The submitted shutter design, being a solid and sealed feature without gaps in the grille allowing air or objects to pass through, does not satisfy the condition requirement that shutters be of 'an open grille nature'.
