Planning application
PF 80 Comiston Road Morningside Edinburgh EH10 5QJ
Works: Windows or glazing
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Replacing timber, single-glazed sash and case bay, front bedroom window and rear bathroom window, with UVPC doubleglazed sash and case. UVPC sash and case windows will be white in colour, will match the current number, orientation, and colouring of panes, and will match the current astragal bars. However, the exact thickness of the frame may differ slightly from existing wooden sash and case. I am using the 'legacy UPVC sash and case' frame from 'celsius windows'. The rear patio door is also to be replaced. As far as I am aware the rear patio door, and rear bathroom window are covered under 'permissive development', but I have attached photos along of these also.

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.

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).
