Environment Policy 35
This policy permits only development within Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Area and protects special features. The officer assessed the window replacement against this, finding the uPVC casements would neither preserve nor enhance due to differing opening mechanism from original sliding sash, failing the test despite residential zoning.
General Policy 2
This policy permits development in accordance with zoning and other criteria, including respecting site surroundings in design, not adversely affecting townscape character, and respecting locality character. The proposal complied with residential zoning but failed on design, form, and townscape impact due to inappropriate window style.
no objection
