The key issue was whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Selbourne Drive Conservation Area per Environment Policy 35.
Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. The officer assessed the window replacements against this, finding the front elevation's replication of arched sliding sashes preserves the area's appearance, while the less visible rear change was acceptable.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
