Why it was refused

  1. - The proposed double glazed windows, by reason of their inappropriate and unsympathetic design and appearance, would harm the architectural and historic significance of the Grade II Listed Building and the special character of the Commercial Road Conservation Area, for which there are no outweighing benefits; contrary to Policies to D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), policies S.DH1 and S.DH3 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan (2020) and the Commercial Road Area Character Appraisal and Management Guidelines (2008).

From the council's decision notice.
