Proposal
Repair the frontage (south elevation) with the removal of all current render removed and a suitable substitute material used to replace it, complete with painted finish to be like-for-like to the current colour (white). Two existing wooden frame sash windows with single glazing will be replaced with new hardwood frames with slimline double glazed units will match the size and appearance of the current fitment.

Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The proposed replacement of the existing windows would harm the character, appearance, and significance of the listed building. Consequently, given the lack of evidence to support or justify the harm, the proposed works are contrary to policies EN4 of the Allocations and Development Management Plan, as well as being contrary to paragraphs 207, 212, 213 and 214 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
