Replace bay and rear bedroom windows with uPVC double glazing at flat in protected historic area

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

A flat owner at Cadogan House is proposing to replace the bay windows and a rear bedroom window with uPVC frames and double glazing. The property sits within a protected historic area of central Cheltenham, right next to the Church of All Saints — one of the most protected buildings in the country — which stands about a minute's walk away. There are four protected old buildings within a very short distance of the site. UPVC window frames can look different from the traditional timber sashes typically found in historic parts of town. This is why the council may want to consider whether the appearance of the new windows fits the character of the area.

What you can do

You can comment on this application using reference 26/00411/FUL on Cheltenham Borough Council's planning portal. The council can consider whether the proposed windows are appropriate for this protected historic area, but cannot take into account matters such as the internal appearance of the flat. Comments must focus on planning matters.
