Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. Officer assessed that replacements match existing design and new windows have minimal visual impact, not harming character. No tension noted.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design without adversely affecting townscape character or amenity. Proposal complies as it respects Victorian terrace form; new elements not prominent. Specific aspects tested: form, design, townscape impact.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows
Mandates in Conservation Areas that visible windows match original opening method, glazing bars, frame sections. Front replacements match existing; roof lights not publicly visible so less stringent. Victorian Society raised issue but officer found compliant.
