The proposal involved installing uPVC casement windows on the front elevation of 20 Derby Road, one of seven terraced properties in the area. The property sits outside the Conservation Area. The officer's assessment noted that four of the seven properties in the terrace had already lost their original windows, making it difficult to sustain a requirement to retain a particular window type across the row. The pattern of window replacements along the terrace, including approved and unrecorded changes at neighbouring properties, was a material consideration in judging the impact of this proposal.

The application was approved because the property is outside the Conservation Area and, with four of the seven terraced properties already having replacement windows, it was considered unreasonable to refuse this proposal on the basis of maintaining a consistent original window type across the terrace.
