Why it was refused

  1. The application fails to provide sufficient information to justify the replacement of the existing historic windows, including the absence of evidence demonstrating that they are beyond repair, and the lack of joinery sections showing how the proposed glazing bars and profiles would replicate the fine detailing of the originals. Without this detail, it has not been shown that the replacement windows would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, resulting in less than substantial harm to these designated heritage assets with no demonstrated public benefits to outweigh that harm, as required by paragraphs 208-214 of the NPPF. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies CS22 and SP20, which seek to protect, conserve and enhance the significance of heritage assets and avoid harm to their character or appearance and Window and Door Design Guidance (2025).

From the council's decision notice.
