Policy 6 in Planning Circular 1/98 'The Alteration and Replacement of Windows'
Policy requires that if original windows are in place they should be repaired; if impracticable, visible replacements from public thoroughfares MUST match originals in opening method, glazing bars pattern/section, and frame sections, regardless of material. The officer assessed the uPVC door (and earlier windows) as failing due to material detracting from character despite matching sash style. Tension arose from applicant's precedents of approved uPVC windows, but Committee strictly applied policy to refuse door.
