Plans for Listed Building Consent

Pump Cottage in Stanton, near Ashbourne is an 18th Century Grade II listed building.
The original windows were single glazed with raised soft-wood casements. The frames were rotten and in urgent need of replacement
The new units are hardwood flush casements without drip-head or cill. To achieve the minimum target U value of 1.8W/m^2K, 4+16+4 mm argon filled glazing units were used. Narrow glazing bars were required and these were 'planted' onto the units.
Thanks... we couldn't have done this without you

To be honest the application documents were very good. The window sections and elevations were very clear (the best I have seen).

Local Planning Authorities require a great deal of additional information in support of an application for listed building consent. Something as simple sounding as replacing the windows can require existing and proposed building plans & elevations at a scale of 1-50, window plans and elevations at 1-20 and detailed sectional plans at 1-5. They will also require a design and access statement and a detailed heritage statement which describes the scope of the work, why it is necessary and the impact it will have on the character of the building and it's setting.
