General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or locality amenity. Officer assessed proposal's neutral impact on streetscene uniformity and character as compliant, given existing uPVC precedents.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing conservation area character, protecting special features. Proposal tested for window replacement; preferred sliding sash uPVC for enhancement, but accepted casement as neutral due to streetscene mix, avoiding further dilution.

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.
