Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works proposed would preserve the Grade II listed building, Navigation Tower at Walton Hall, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The use of uPVC would cause harm to the significance of the listed building by replacing a key component with an inappropriate synthetic material that relates poorly to its heritage values, and the public benefits claimed do not outweigh this harm.

The harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset, being a matter of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the unsubstantiated public benefits claimed in relation to energy efficiency, security and maintenance costs.
