The property at 42 Douglas Street is an attractive dwelling within the Peel Conservation Area that has retained much of its original character.
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.
no views, no adverse traffic impacts
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL (for overall application including windows, roof light, doors)
