Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development and/or works would preserve a Grade II listed building, 36 Frenchwood Street, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which the works preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Avenham Conservation Area

What decided it

The UPVC secondary glazing fails to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character of the Conservation Area, and provides only private benefits rather than public benefits to justify the harm caused.
