Planning department wanting more plans

Hello,

I live in a Conservation area in a circa 1900s mid-terrace. My house is NOT listed.
Some time in the 80s, my original sash windows were replaced by the previous owners with plastic uPVC nothing like the original in appearance. We are one of about 4-6 on the road like this.

I have submitted planning permission to replace the windows at the front with accoya sash windows. My application included front elevation plans. Planning have now come back to me to state they need section plans 1:10 scales of the proposed windows from the manufacturer that shows these will either be single glazed or slim double-glazed units with integrated glazing bars. I've confirmed this will be the case but they need more plans. They specify that if the plans are approved, these details could form part of a condition that would need discharging prior to instalment.

I am just feeling frustrated given the hideous, mouldy windows in situ, why they need yet more plans.

Because they need to have the full details to determine the application.
It's fairly standard to have sections from the manufacturer for window applications in CAs and for listed buildings.
Your suppliers should be able to provide them very quickly and easily.
