Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hawley Park & Green Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of uPVC windows and doors, despite white frames and conservation-style design, would not replicate the appearance of traditional timber and would be counter to the design ethos of the original dwelling and conservation area, resulting in harm that is not outweighed by private maintenance benefits.

- Development plan policies
- Policy NBE8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215Paragraph 216
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
