Official record
Development description
Permission for the development which will consist of the replacement of existing timber sash windows, which are beyond repair, with new, like-for-like timber sash windows incorporating energy-efficient glazing. The replacement windows will match existing design, dimensions, materials, and detailing to preserve the historic character and architectural integrity of the protected structure. No structural changes to window openings or surrounding fabric are proposed. The proposed development also includes the installation of solar panels on the south/southeast-facing roof area at the rear of the property. These panels will not be visible from the front elevation and will be installed sensitively to minimise visual impact, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainability objectives in line with conservation guidelines.
