Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of Retford Conservation Area and on the setting of the nearby listed buildings 27 and 35 Grove Street

What decided it

The absence of sufficiently detailed specifications for the replacement windows meant the Inspector could not be satisfied they would not materially harm the character of the conservation area and the setting of the listed buildings, and the limited public benefits did not outweigh the identified less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy ST33Policy ST40Policy ST41Policy 2 of the Retford Town Centre Neighbourhood Plan 2024
National Planning Policy Framework
