PLANS to replace 30-year-old windows in Aston Cantlow's Village Hall have been refused.

The hall's trustees wanted to replace 20, 60s-style windows and a set of metal doors with uPVC double-glazing on the grade II listed building to enhance its appearance, conserve energy and increase security.

But councillors on Stratford Council's Arden Area planning committee said the new windows and doors would have an adverse effect on its character and appearance.
