Replacement sash windows at 7 Guildford Lawn, Ramsgate

“No.7 Guildford Lawn is a mid terrace Grade II Listed, mid 19th century two storey dwelling with a basement which is accessed via stairs to the front of the dwelling and has a small front and rear dormer. Guildford Lawn is unusual in that the windows to all storeys are bowed and the terrace itself curves around to the rear with a terrace of 8No. terraced dwellings built in front the dwellings behind.”

“The property is sited within the Ramsgate Conservation area and this application relates to the replacement of the sash and casement windows to the front and rear elevations.”

“L/TH/21/1074 - Granted 22 October 2021 Application for listed building consent for the replacement of the existing interlocking tiles with natural slate coverings together with the replacement of the second floor front dormer window unit together with associated repairs and recovering of the flat roof.”

“The Conservation Officer has confirmed that she has visited the site and viewed the existing windows to the front and rear elevation and they are in a poor state and beyond repair. She’s further advised that some of the windows to the rear are not original. As such, the proposed works to replace the windows as shown are considered to be essential to the maintenance of the listed structure, and will help secure its use for the future.”

“The works will enhance the listed building and the surrounding conservation area and it is therefore recommended that members approve the application, subject to safeguarding conditions.”

“Given that the proposed single glazed, timber sash and casement windows on the above referenced property will be replaced with those to match in terms of design, glazing and materials, I raise no objections.”

“Neighbouring occupiers have been notified and a site notice posted. No representations have been received.”

“Councillor Rattigan proposed, Councillor Rusiecki seconded that the officer recommendation for APPROVAL be agreed subject to the following conditions:”

“2 The replacement windows hereby permitted shall replicate the existing windows in all respects, including moulding profiles, glazing bars, cover beads and cills.”
