Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not Condition 3 is necessary having regard to the effects of replacement windows on the Ewell Village Conservation Area

What decided it

Replacement windows could be designed with sufficient detail to maintain the traditional sash character and proportions such that the conservation area's character would be preserved without requiring secondary glazing, making the original condition 3 unnecessary.
