Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the grade II listed building, Number 41 and archway to garden, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Helmsley conservation area
What decided it
The windows make a positive and important contribution to the special interest of the grade II listed building, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that replacement was the only solution when alternative measures such as draught proofing and secondary glazing had not been adequately explored.
