Window and cladding replacement at 1, 2 4 And 12 Love Lane, Margate

“LOCATION: Replacement of timber single glazed windows with timber double glazed to the front and side elevations, replacement of timber single glazed windows and doors to rear with double glazed UPVC together with replacement of cladding…”

“The site comprises four dwellings, three located on the northern side of the road and one located on the southern side. Dwellings on both sides of the road form part of a terrace of dwellings with similar designs and appear to have been constructed in the late 1980s.”

“F/TH/12/0387 - Replacement of timber windows and doors with aluminium and UPVC. Granted 16 July 2012”

“This development would not significantly alter the scale or arrangement of the buildings and is, therefore, not considered to result in any significant harm to highway safety in the area.”

“The site is located within Flood Zone 2 and is, therefore, at a medium risk of flooding. This proposal would not alter the arrangement or use of the site and is, therefore, not considered to change the flood risk associated with the existing use.”

“Letters were sent to neighbouring property occupiers, a site notice was posted close to the site and an advert was posted in the local paper.”

“TDC Conservation Officer - Following a review of the submitted application and revised plans, given that the street facing (front and side) elevations will retain timber frames, and the proposed rear windows will not be visible from public viewpoint within the conservation area, I raise no objection.”

“The amended plans indicate that the single glazed timber windows on the front and side elevations would be replaced with double glazed timber windows to match the existing. The proposed windows would still have the same method of opening and a similar appearance to the existing windows, however the change from single glazing to double glazing would alter their appearance and mean that they do not match the existing windows.”

“The single glazed windows and doors to the rear of the buildings would be replaced with white UPVC doors and windows. The rear elevation of the buildings are not visible from the highway, however parking courts are located at the rear of each building which allow for views of the rear elevations from this shared area.”

“Councillor Makinson proposed and Councillor Boyd seconded that the officer recommendation for approval be agreed, subject to the following conditions:”

“When put to the vote the motion was CARRIED.”

“2 The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted drawings numbered 24/699/MG/PL01 Rev C and 25/699(12)/MG/PL01 Rev C received, 22 May 2025.”

“GROUND: To secure the proper development of the area. 3 The external materials and external finishes to be used in the replacement of the cladding hereby approved shall be of the same colour, finish and texture as those on the existing property.”
