Why was this refused?

Non-compliance with Planning Circular 1/98 on window replication
Detriment to Conservation Area character
Visual impact on streetscene
Prevalence of sliding sash windows in locality

The proposal involved replacing existing timber frame sliding sash windows on the front and rear elevations of a dwelling at 35 Douglas Street, Peel, with UPVC casement windows described as equal split with sash horns. The site is within the Peel Conservation Area and zoned Mixed Use in the 1989 Peel Local Plan.

Refusal Reasons

✗The proposal is considered to be contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 1/98, insofar as the method of opening, pattern and section of glazing bars does not replicate the existing windows.
✗The installation of upvc casement windows in this property would detract from the appearance of the dwelling within the streetscene, thereby neither preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of the Conservation Area in which the dwelling is located.
