APPRAISAL

By full committee on …… 11 March 2020 …… with …… 6 …… members present

Issued on 11 Mar 2020

1. Positive support		2. No objection	X
3. Objection		4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason:

It is rare to see not only such a thorough attempt to appraise the significance of a building (included listed buildings) but also to enhance a Conservation Area. While it is a shame that the applicant has not chosen timber framed windows, in this instance the uPVC units will be a significant improvement on what is already there.

We are mostly in support of this, with some reservations over the airconditioning unit.
