The existing window is not original and is located in a modern rear annex not visible from public vantage points due to the property's orientation and boundary walls.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; not adversely affect landscape/townscape character or local amenity. Officer assessed the window replacement as compliant due to minimal visual impact, non-visibility from public areas, and consistency with existing uPVC windows.
Environment Policy 32
Prohibits extensions/alterations detrimentally affecting a registered building's special architectural/historic interest. Assessed as compliant because the modern window in non-original annex maintains format, uses prevalent uPVC material, and has no detrimental character impact per conservation officer.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
