The proposal involved replacing an existing window with a door at the CCF Stores building, located on the western side of the King William's College complex. Importantly, the affected part of the site is not within the registered part of the college (RB185), which meant heritage sensitivity was lower than it might otherwise have been. The existing window sits at the lower end of a long aperture, and the officer concluded that converting it to a door would have no adverse impact on the building or its surroundings. The application was determined by committee, in line with the officer's recommendation to approve.

The proposal was approved because the affected building is not part of the registered college complex, and the conversion of the window — positioned at the lower end of a long aperture — was judged to cause no adverse impact on the character or appearance of the site.
