General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in scale, form, design; not adversely affect character of townscape; not affect amenity of residents or locality character. Officer found proposal acceptable in most respects (e.g. doors, less visible windows) but visible windows harmed townscape character.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Proposal failed as loss of window insets harmed dwelling and Area character.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
Visible replacement windows in Conservation Areas must match original opening method, glazing bar pattern/section, frame sections. Proposal matched opening but not glazing (missing top insets), failing test; less visible windows acceptable with similar pattern.
no objections to the planning application
