General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or locality amenity. Officer assessed the window replacements as compliant, noting they match existing design and cause no harm to the terrace's stepped character or Conservation Area townscape.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Proposal deemed acceptable as uPVC sliding sash replacements generally meet EP35 where features match originals, with no exception here given retention of street rhythm.
Windows Policy 1/98 Category b) BUILDINGS IN CONSERVATION AREAS
For Conservation Area buildings visible from public thoroughfare, replacements must match original opening method, glazing bars pattern/section, and frame sections if originals cannot be repaired.

Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
