General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; not adversely affect landscape/townscape character or local amenities. Officer assessed the window replacement as modest scale that retains building character and has limited visual impact on East Street.
Environment Policy 10
Requires flood risk assessment and mitigation where flooding potential exists. First/second floor windows do not increase flood risk on/off site, so no assessment needed given modest scale.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Proposal enhances building via double glazing while preserving appearance.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
For Conservation Area buildings, visible replacements must match originals' opening method, glazing bar pattern, and frame sections if repair impracticable. New timber double-glazed sliding sash windows replicate these features exactly.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
