Awaiting decision West Berkshire 26/01991/LBC Heritage and listed buildings

Works: Windows or glazing

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The proposed works involve replacing the fixed window above the entrance door with an Automatic Opening Vent (AOV).This is required to address a fire safety issue identified in a recent Fire Risk Assessment and supported by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service.The AOV will open automatically in the event of a fire to help remove smoke from the escape route.The existing opening will be kept, with no changes to the building structure. The new window will closely match the existing window in appearance.The works are limited to improving fire safety while minimising any impact on the character of the listed building.
