Double-glazed timber windows at 90 Trinity Square, Margate

“This application seeks planning permission for the installation of double glazed timber windows to the front and rear elevations following the removal of the existing single glazed windows. Some of the windows across the rear are timber, and some are uPVC.”

“Number 90 Trinity Square is a three storey semi-detached painted brick building, in residential use, with a front parapet and canted bay at first floor. It sits in the Margate…”

“Conservation Area and immediately adjacent to a number of listed buildings, including the Grade II* Tudor House to the southeast.”

“Replacing the existing second floor uPVC casement window with a timber sliding sash would be a welcome change. Originally the horn details from the second floor front windows would have been lost, however following further discussions with the application team the scheme has been amended to include horns on all new / replacement windows, and to ensure appropriate traditional timber openings across the building.”

“Overall the works proposed are considered to preserve the character and appearance of the Margate Conservation Area, and improve the relationship with adjacent listed buildings. The works would not introduce any new harm in terms of neighbouring amenity, and therefore it is recommended that planning permission be granted.”

“Letters were sent to neighbouring property occupiers, a site notice posted close to the site and an advert was posted in the local paper. No representations have been received.”

“Now that the trickle vents have been removed from the frames, I can confirm that I have no further concerns with this proposal.”

“Councillor Matterface proposed and Councillor Wright seconded that the officer recommendation to approve be AGREED, subject to the following conditions:”

“2 The proposed development shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted application as amended by the revised drawings numbered…”
