Window restoration query (conservation area)
Hi there,
I have a query regarding window restoration, and wondered if anyone in the local area could help me, or had any advice (or has had their sash windows repaired!)
I have recently bought a flat on Granville Park, which I think is in a conservation area.
The sash windows are old and not airtight; a bad paint job means some of them are stuck open by about half an inch.
I am looking to get them either restored, or replaced with identical like-for-like timber sash windows; but I don't know whether I need planning permission for this, as it's a flat in a conservation area?
Lewisham Council website says I need permission, but is this even for identical windows, or restoring the existing ones? Nothing would be altered aesthetically.
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks,
Abby
