Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the installation of plastic framed windows in the rear elevation constitutes a contravention of listed building control affecting the building's special architectural or historic interest

What decided it

The rear elevation has little historic significance and is virtually invisible from public places, and the new windows do not appear materially different from those that may have preceded them, so there has been no effect on the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building.
