This application sought Registered Building Consent to install replacement windows and doors at 5-7 Queen Street, Peel, a Registered (listed) Building. The proposal involved swapping existing painted timber windows and doors for UPVC units, submitted alongside a related general building application. The application was refused on 20 August 2024. The decision found that UPVC replacement units would not preserve the building or its features of architectural special interest, failing the statutory test that applies to works affecting Registered Buildings. The refusal also cited planning policy grounds, noting that the building would not be adequately protected or enhanced, and that the use of UPVC rather than traditional materials was contrary to the relevant strategic and environment policies.
