General Policy 2
General Policy 2 requires development to respect and enhance local character and appearance. The officer assessed the casement windows as failing this by mismatching approved sliding sashes and neighbouring styles, thus not respecting the Conservation Area's architectural uniformity.
Environment Policy 35
Environment Policy 35 protects the special character of Conservation Areas. The proposal was tested against this for window replacements, with the mismatch to approved and neighbouring windows seen as 'watering down' original features, failing to preserve the area's established character as per Planning Circular 1/98.
No objection
