Summary
The applicant wants to replace two timber, single-glazed sash windows on the front elevation of their flat. The proposal is a like-for-like swap — same material, same style, same position. The property sits within 12 Pennsylvania Road, which is a Grade II listed building inside the Longbrook Conservation Area. The street is densely listed, with five other listed buildings within a 1-minute walk, including the directly neighbouring properties. Because the building is listed, even minor works need council approval. Two heritage documents that are normally required for this type of application are currently missing, which could delay or complicate the decision.

You can comment on this application via Exeter City Council's planning portal using reference 26/0321/LBC. The council can only take into account matters related to heritage impact and listed building character — not general preferences about appearance.
