Planning permission in conservation area

[jenny60]

We are going to replace plastic windows with wooden sashes but need planning permission as we are in a conservation area. Can anyone help with writing a design and access statement and/or a sunlight and daylight statement? I'd rather do this myself than pay someone as windows already costing and arm and a leg.

Thanks

Easy to write yourself. Just write a factual statement about why you are wanting to replace the windows, restore them back to wood- thus enhancing the character of the house and the wider conservation area etc.

Best thing to do is to have a look on the councils website for guidance and at other similar applications to see what they have written.

I don't have a clue what a daylight statement is though?

Thanks. Hardly anything on Council website, annoyingly.

Anyone else have any ideas?
