General Policy 2
Requires development to preserve or enhance conservation areas. The officer assessed the window replacement as sympathetic due to matching the existing timber casement style, material, and glazing, preserving the area's character.
Environment Policy 35
Protects conservation areas. Applied alongside GP2; the proposal was found to enhance the area by replicating original casement style typical of early 20th-century properties.
Policy 6 from Planning Circular 1/98 (The Alteration and Replacement of Windows)
Governs windows in conservation areas, requiring like-for-like replacements. The timber casement matches the existing, distinguishing it from prior uPVC refusals.
