Planning application
26/01096/CERTP
Yarnton House High Street Streatley Reading RG8 9HY
Proposal
Replacement of existing timber windows and external doors on the main dwelling (Yarnton House) and its associated residential annexe (Yarnton Garden Cottage) with new, purpose-made double-glazed timber windows and doors. The proposed replacements are strictly 'like-for-like' in terms of materials (painted timber), opening mechanisms (flush casements), and architectural style. Special care is being taken to exactly replicate distinctive features, such as the Gothic arched window designs, and the precise width of the existing timber glazing bars to ensure no material change to the external appearance of the buildings within the Conservation Area.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.
