The first floor windows replicate the sliding-sash opening method but omit the Georgian glazing bar pattern required by Planning Circular 1/98.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site surroundings in scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or residential amenity. Officer assessed the windows as not harming character of the terrace or streetscene, thus compliant despite minor design deviations elsewhere.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
For Category C buildings (pre-1921, non-registered, non-conservation), principal elevations visible from public thoroughfare must match original opening method and glazing bars/sections. First floor partially complies (opening method same, bars differ); ground floor fails on opening method but complies on glazing proportions; overridden by precedents and lack of visual harm.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
