Environment Policy 35
Requires that within Conservation Areas, only development which preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Area will be permitted, protecting special features from inappropriate development. The officer assessed the proposed PVC casement windows as failing to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area, being contrary to this policy due to mismatch with original sliding sash design.
Policy 6 in Planning Circular 1/98 'The Alteration and Replacement of Windows'
States that if original windows cannot be repaired, replacements visible from the public thoroughfare must have the same method of opening, pattern/section of glazing bars, and frame sections as originals. The proposed inward-opening PVC casement windows did not match the original sliding sash windows, directly breaching this policy and failing the conservation enhancement test.
No objection
