Assessment / Recommendation

I have considered the content of the application with particular consideration to Policy CA/2 Special Planning Considerations as set out within Planning Policy Statement 1/01, and Planning Circular 1/98 The Alteration and Replacement of Windows, specifically 4. Category a) REGISTERED BUILDINGS.

The application was made following consultation between the Assistant Conservation Officer and the Applicant. The Assistant Conservation Officer visited the site and was able to view the poor condition of the existing windows. It is understood that those existing are not the original windows but are more recent replacement items. On this basis the proposal is acceptable.

Recommendation:

I therefore recommend that the application be approved with the condition that a sample of the window be approved by the Planning Committee PRIOR to the works commencing on site.

Party Status

There are no views on the file.
