The officer judged the proposal against Planning Circular 1/98, which prefers replication of original glazing form where a property retains its character.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
The circular requires replication of original glazing form where a property retains its character or appearance. The officer tested the front elevation windows, confirming they replicate the existing sliding sash style and match the main elevation after shop window removal. Rear/side windows were deemed acceptable as not publicly visible; lack of glazing bars was a minor issue outweighed by overall improvement.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans and window clarification
This permission relates to the replacement of the existing windows as shown in the submitted drawing reference 0656/SK02 received on 10th February, 2009 and as described in the application form. For clarification, as there is some discrepancy between the two, this permission relates to the installation of sliding sash windows in the front elevation and top hung casements in the rear elevation. The applicant is encouraged to introduce external glazing bars which replicate the six pane pattern on each light, to maintain the appearance and character of the property.
Comments received (noted discrepancy between drawings and form; suggested replicating six-pane glazing pattern to maintain character)
