The proposal involves installing a replacement bottom opening casement '50/50' split window and a new 'Veka PVCu' door with clear or obscure toughened glass at the rear of a two-storey terraced house. The site is in a residential area accessed via a service lane, screened by tall stone boundary walls.

The main issue was the impact on the character and appearance of the Selborne Drive Conservation Area and the individual property.
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 rear window and door replacements against this, finding they match existing proportions and form, are screened from public views by tall stone walls, and thus preserve the area's 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.
