Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance / visual amenity of the appeal site and surrounding area, including the Horsforth Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposals would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area through the replacement of traditional materials with modern uPVC and aluminium composite materials, and this harm was not outweighed by the identified benefits.

Framework references: 215
