Why officers supported it

Officers considered the design sympathetic, the works modest, and the replacement windows unlikely to harm neighbouring living conditions.

“6.2Living Conditions: The proposals are modest; and would have acceptable relationship with neighbouring boundaries. Windows would be replaced within the same openings. The proposal by their nature, scale and siting would ensure no harm would be caused at neighbouring properties in terms of daylight, sunlight, sense of enclosure, overlooking and privacy, noise and other disturbances. They would comply with the aims of Policy CD9 of the Local Plan 2024.”
