Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Coal Pit Farm House and attached barn, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • Whether the period specified in the notice (three months) falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The UPVC windows fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, causing less than substantial but considerable harm that outweighs the private benefits claimed by the appellant.

The less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building outweighed the private benefits of thermal efficiency and reduced maintenance claimed by the appellant
