Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Spring Bank Conservation Area

What decided it

The replacement windows and doors, by their design and use of plastic materials, detract substantially from the traditional Tudor style of the building and the character of the conservation area, and the public benefits of renovation and carbon reduction do not outweigh this identified harm.
