The proposal involved installing uPVC replacement windows with a centre transom and 50/50 split in the front and rear elevations, plus a new back door, at a two-storey mid-terrace cottage in a predominantly residential area. The existing casement windows were considered not to contribute to the property's character.

The officer considered Planning Circular 1/98, which prefers replacement windows in visible elevations to match the original method of opening, pattern, and frame sections where originals are absent.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
Requires replacement windows in visible principal elevations to match original opening method, glazing bars, and frame sections if originals absent. Officer tested front windows against this, finding proposed 50/50 split similar to sliding sash glazing sections despite uPVC material and different opening type. Rear door not tested as not visible.
