General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect character, amenity, road safety, or public views; and provides satisfactory standards. The officer assessed the window alterations against this, finding the modest changes not visible from the thoroughfare, over 20m from neighbours, enhancing character and amenity without adverse impacts.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
For pre-1921 rural buildings, principal elevations visible from thoroughfares require windows matching originals in glazing bars and frame sections; non-principal elevations visible from thoroughfares should match glazing pattern. The officer noted alterations are not readily visible from the public thoroughfare, with sliding-sash replacements enhancing character, complying as non-visible changes.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
