Planning application
7 Elmwood Terrace Lochend Edinburgh EH6 8DF
Works: Loft or dormer Windows or glazing
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
I intend to replace the window unit in the dormer roof room. The existing unit is a single PVC double glazed clear unit with dimensions 1170x 1120mm and a white PVC frame with no internal astragal frames. The new unit will have the same external dimensions (1170 x 1120) and white PVC frame. It will have three panes with white astragal bars. Two of the panes will have opening mechanisms. The unit will be frosted double glazed.

The living room of 6/4 Bellevue Place faces the road. This proposal is to replace the single-glazed, wooden sash-and-case bay window (3 sashes comprise the bay window) with a like-for-like sash UPVC bay window (double-glazed).

106 Comiston Road Morningside Edinburgh EH10 5QL
Replace five ground floor flat windows with double glazed upvc sash and case windows. to insulate the property and reduce traffic noise from comiston road. employing a reputable local glazer (amazing double glazing) the proposed upvc windows will comply with planning guidance in terms of number, orientation, colour and geometry, only deviating in terms of materiality due to prohibitively expensive quotes for timber frame. the majority of neighbouring flats have installed upvc double-glazing.
