®Planning appeal decision
40b Colvestone Crescent, Hackney, London, E8 2LH
proposed works to replace the existing bay windows at the front of the property with double glazed units. Units will use timber frames and replicate the existing fenestration pattern including structural glazing bars and dimension. The units will be 24mm deep (including framework & glazing) to allow for the use of structural glazing bars as in the existing, whilst incorporating double glazing which will help insulate the property. All framework and cills will be painted white as per existing. Proposed works to replace the windows and door at the rear of the property with uPVC casement units. The proposed units will match the dimensions of the existing units and framework, and door will be in White Ash colour

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of St Mark's Conservation Area
What decided it
The rear elevation's non-historic 1970s construction and the limited public visibility of the rear windows, combined with the sympathetic design of the proposed uPVC replacements, mean the proposal would preserve the character and appearance of St Mark's Conservation Area.
