Why it was refused

  1. In the interests of visual amenity and preserving the Conservation Area; the proposed windows by virtue of their design, tilt and turn opening method, lack of matching astragals and alternate dimensions would not preserve or enhance the character of the surrounding Burntisland Conservation Area, contrary to Policies 7 and 14 of NPF4 (2023), Policies 1, 10 and 14 of the Approved FIFEplan (2017), Burntisland Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (2005) and Fife Council Planning Customer Guidelines on Windows in Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas (2018).
