The officer noted that while renovation of existing windows might be possible, replacement with new timber framed sliding sash windows is acceptable as they offer improved thermal efficiency.
Planning Circular 1/98 'The Alteration and Replacement of Windows' Policy 7
Policy requires that in buildings with principal elevations visible from public thoroughfares, replacement windows must have the same or similar method of opening, pattern/section of glazing bars, and frame sections as originals if repair is impracticable. The officer assessed the proposal against this, confirming the new timber sliding sash windows match existing designs including upper sash frame sections as shown in submitted photographs. This ensures neutral impact on the traditional building.
