It was quite obvious that the present windows are incongruous and here is an opportunity to rectify the situation."; "the statement on the application form 'all existing timber windows to be replaced in white uPVC' doesn’t actually say which windows are to be replaced."; "Given the location of this property and its proximity to the Registered properties in Victoria Terrace we would ask that the windows to be replaced should be of the sliding sash variety."
Conditions requested: windows to be replaced should be of the sliding sash variety
