Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the existing building and the surrounding locality, with special attention as to whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Brompton Conservation Area
What decided it
The uPVC windows and composite door are inauthentic, discordant additions that materially diminish the architectural authenticity of the dwelling and conservation area, and the private benefits of the proposal do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to heritage significance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DE1Policy DE5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 213Paragraph 215Paragraph 216
