PP for new windows?

Apr 27, 2006 4 Replies

Was watching that daytime House Auction prog this week and one of the winning bidders stated that he had trouble with the neighbours over his refurb.



He complained that he was dobbed in to the council because he didn't have PP for his replacement windows, a new requirement from Jan 1st (of whichever year it was filmed).



Did he actually mean this. Is PP really now required for new windows, or was he talking about the Building Regs (which aren't that new and ages the program somewhat).

Replacement windows can be a planning issue if you live in a conservation area, a national park, the norfolk broads or a listed building - there may be other categories as well.

Yes, but hasn't this always been the case?

Maybe it had only recently been made a conservation area.

Possible I suppose.

Thinking about it this is the sort of reason that a proud neighbour is likely to complain about being broken.
