Planning Circular 1/98 states that for older buildings which have not retained their original character, new windows should preferably replicate originals but a relaxed approach is taken.
Guidance on replacement windows in Conservation Areas
Requires new windows in older buildings to preferably replicate originals but allows relaxed approach where original character not retained. Officer applied this directly, noting the cottage's alterations mean existing windows are non-original; proposal matches or improves on them without requiring superior sliding sash style due to aperture shapes and site context.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
