The officer noted that windows and doors are often the most important element in any façade and can help gauge the age and/or purpose of a building.
Environment Policy 35
ENV35 states that within Conservation Areas, the Department will permit only development which would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area, and will ensure that the special features contributing to the character and quality are protected against inappropriate development. The officer assessed the replacement door against this policy, finding the existing door non-contributory to the Conservation Area character. The new UPVC/composite door was deemed to have negligible impact on the dwelling's appearance and the wider area's character, thus preserving it.
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.
