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, confirming they match the sliding sash style prevalent in the terrace street scene and include arched first floor frames, thus preserving the area's Victorian character.
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.
Arched frames for first floor windows
For the avoidance of doubt the three first floor windows are required to have arched frames to match the existing window design. Reason: To ensure the satisfactory preservation of the Conservation Area.
