Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the scheme on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind it is within the Boston Conservation Area and close to the grade II* listed Boston Sessions House and the grade II listed 7, Red Lion Street

What decided it

The thick, heavy uPVC framing and glazing bars would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the modest public benefits do not outweigh this less than substantial heritage harm.
