Replacement of single-glazed windows on first and second floor of front elevation with new slimline double glazed timber sash windows.
Your drawings do not include enough details of the age and condition of the existing box frames to demonstrate that they cannot be retained with joinery repairs to accommodate replacement sashes and of existing adjacent historic windows (including visible framing dimensions and framing and glazing bar profiles) for us to assess how your plans would affect the building and the Belgravia Conservation Area. We believe that the work could harm the special interest of the building and could fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character and appearance of the conservation area. This would not meet Policies 42 and 45 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026) and the advice set out in our Supplementary Planning Guidance: Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings. (X22BD)
Because of detailed design the proposed replacement windows would harm the architectural and historic interest of this grade II listed building. It would also fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character and appearance of the Belgravia Conservation Area. This would not meet Policy 42, 44 and 45 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026) and the advice set out in our Supplementary Planning Guidance: Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings. (X17EC)
