Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded

What decided it

The replacement uPVC windows materially affected the external appearance of the building and required planning permission, which was not obtained, as permitted development rights do not apply to flats and were disapplied by Article 4 Direction.
