The rear elevation windows are not readily visible from public thoroughfares, providing flexibility under Planning Circular 1/98, which requires matching originals only for visible windows.
Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. Officer assessed the window replacement's minimal impact due to rear, non-visible location and similarity to existing non-original windows, finding no harm to Peel's Conservation Area character.
Paragraph 9.16, Planning Circular 6/89
Requires alterations or extensions in Conservation Area to be sympathetic to the existing building and setting. The proposal was deemed sympathetic as new uPVC casements match existing rear windows and prior upper-floor changes, with no adverse effect on the building or area.
Planning Policy Statement 1/01 - Policy CA/2 (Conservation Areas)
Makes impact on Conservation Area's special character a material consideration. Assessed as acceptable given the rear elevation's concealment and proposal's replication of existing features.
Windows Policy 1/98 'Buildings in Conservation Areas'
For non-visible windows in Conservation Areas, requires same or similar glazing bar pattern as originals, but not necessarily original opening method. Rear windows not publicly visible, so uPVC casements matching existing pattern approved; originals absent and existing already non-traditional.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. 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.
