6. Prior to the commencement of works commencing on site, the applicant shall submit the following information to the Conservation Officer for their written agreement: a) A detailed window survey shall be carried out demonstrating the condition of all windows. The window survey should include a detailed description of the existing timber windows and detail any surviving historic glazing. It should include detailed photographs of the existing windows. Details of the extent of the required repairs should be outlined in a method statement. Where windows are clearly shown to be beyond repair, any proposed replacements must be historically correct timber sash windows, which are accurately based on originals. Details of the proposed new windows and glazing should be submitted. A full set of drawings at 1:10 and specification for each of the new timber windows (both to be retained and proposed) is to be submitted to the local authority describing the window replacement in detail. All proposed replacements must be historically correct timber sash windows, which are accurately based on surviving originals. The use of standard double glazed units is not permitted as they are considered too bulky for historic windows. The installation of slim profiled double glazed unit may be considered where well detailed. The use of a slim profiled glazing system with frittered glass (i.e. where narrow shards of glass separate two panes of glass in a vacuum which can be seen from the exterior and interior) and a slim profiled glazing system where a black vacuum seal is clearly visible will not be permitted and shall not be utilised. The new frames should have a traditional putty finish to the exterior and the seals shall not be visible beyond the historic sash frames. Details of the proposed new glazing shall be submitted in advance of work commencing on site. The applicant shall ensure that any proposed slim-profiled glass replacements conform to EU directives and shall confirm this in writing to the Planning Authority.
