Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
The circular applies to buildings erected before 1921 that have retained original character, preferring replacement windows in principal elevations visible from public thoroughfares to match original opening method, glazing bars, and frame sections if originals are absent. For non-principal elevations, similar glazing bars are preferred but opening method is flexible. The officer tested the ground floor windows in front and side elevations visible from Derby Road and Oxford Street, finding the proposal acceptable despite non-matching opening method since existing windows are not originals, with the centre transom providing similarity to sliding sash style.
