General Policy 2
General Policy 2 is a relevant overarching policy from the Strategic Plan. The officer considered the proposal compliant in the context of the site's sensitive designations. No specific tests or tensions noted beyond overall acceptability.
Planning Circular 1/98 (windows replacement policy)
Policy 7 requires that if repair is impracticable or windows are not originals, replacements on principal elevations must have the same method of opening, pattern and section of glazing bars, and frame sections as originals.
