Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bermondsey Street Conservation Area

What decided it

The replacement of timber windows with uPVC windows on a prominent building within the conservation area would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Bermondsey Street Conservation Area that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits claimed.
