I wish to replace my wooden windows with upvc equivalents. I propose to do this in a manner which as much as possible is sympathetic to the original build design as the property is within the Compton Conservation Area. I also wish to replace the wooden front door and replace with a composite door designed to also be sympathetic to the original design.
