Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed rear windows would preserve the grade II listed building, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
  • whether the proposed rear windows would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Headland conservation area

What decided it

The uPVC rear windows fail to preserve the listed building's special architectural and historic interest and the conservation area's character, and the limited public benefits do not justify this less than substantial harm under NPPF paragraph 215.

Framework references: 212, 213, 215
