Planning for windows' does my nut in. Currently doing one,though its like for like. Ish. Already a UPVC window job, every one in the building and the street have different. Only original sash left is the rotten ones in folks downstairs toilets where it just wasn't worth the bother to replace. Council insists we should all copy this rotting EPC fail nightmare window.
Latest faux wood foils, and getting a multi unit window (so faux sliding sash, or actual sliding sash, but with 6 individual glazed units in it, rather than 1 big one, with faux Georgian bars inside the units) look absolutely fine, unbelievably close to original. Its only when you go to physically open the window, and your face is against it, you go 'oh, its plastic, not wood!?'.. And yup, council suggests even this is not allowed. Even though the 1989 brown saggy plastic monstrosity with a single 2m high glass unit with not even faux Georgian bars inside, is currently OK because it was fitted ages back.
Standard argument that everyone has when living in a conservation area. Should have just just done what every building developer company does, and demolish /smash/destroy over the weekend, so that no one in a position to stop them, can. And then the damage it done, so its all OK.

This is a disaster but GCC will do fuck all as I can imagine the backhanders on this project are wild.
Only thing people could do is not buy them but we know that wont happen.

Apart from when the council makes them rebuild like what was there before. Doesn't happen enough but it does.

Underestimated how much it's going to cost to get this window fixed up and restored. Looking at just under 5k to take it out, fit it in a double glazed unit, and built/fit a new acoya frame. It'll be 2 pieces, split where the bottom of the non-stained glass is, and it'll open on quadrant stays at the top.
Needs bloody planning permission too to do it by the book
