Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the decision of the Council to refuse the application for a certificate was well founded
What decided it
The substantially thicker and more noticeable glazing bars in the proposed uPVC windows would materially change the external appearance of the building compared to the existing slender timber bars, thereby constituting development that does not benefit from exemption under Section 55(2)(a)(ii).
