Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the host building as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA)
- Whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Nunthorpe and Poole Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset and the conservation area, characterised as a matter of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance, which could have been achieved through timber windows of appropriate design.
The harm to the significance of the conservation area and the non-designated heritage asset, a matter of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal; the adverse effects were substantially outweighed by the benefits when assessed against the Framework's decision-making policies, applying Policy S4.
