The main issue was the impact on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and individual property, assessed against Environment Policy 35 which permits only development that preserves or …
Environment Policy 35
Requires development within Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area and protect special features from inappropriate development. The officer assessed the window replacements against this, finding they retain the sliding sash opening and glazing details key to the traditional street-scene, thus preserving character. The rear door was unproblematic due to no public views.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Window details
For the avoidance of doubt the replacement two first floor windows hereby approved are required to have an externally applied vertical glazing bar as shown on the submitted plan (DPM Conservatories - Quotation) dated 20/07/2016. Reason: In the interest of the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
