Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the host property and the character and appearance of the area, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and preserve the setting of a nearby listed building

What decided it

The absence of sufficiently detailed and accurate drawings demonstrating that the proposed UPVC windows would match the existing timber windows in style and design meant the Inspector could not be satisfied that the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area or the setting of the nearby listed building, contrary to statutory duties.
