Why it was refused

  1. The proposed replacement of traditional timber windows and doors with UPVC units, together with the introduction of poorly detailed and visually intrusive rooflights, would result in the loss of characteristic materials and detailing which contribute to the building's significance as a positive element within the Shadwell Conservation Area. These works would erode the character and appearance of both the host dwelling and the wider conservation area. The proposal is considered to result in less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset, which is not outweighed by any public benefits. As such, the proposal fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area and is contrary to Core Strategy Policies P10, P11, and P12, saved Unitary Development Plan Policies GP5, BD6, BC7, and N20, Policy HLC1 of the Shadwell Neighbourhood Plan, and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
