Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Berwick-upon-Tweed Conservation Area
What decided it
The moderate harm to the significance of the conservation area from the visual impact of uPVC windows was not outweighed by the limited public benefits claimed, which were either private benefits or could be achieved through more sympathetic design alternatives.
The moderate harm to the significance of the conservation area was not outweighed by the limited public benefits; the benefits were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects when assessed against the national decision-making policies of the Framework relating to conservation of heritage assets.
