Can my neighbour install uPVC windows in their house without planning permission, even in a conservation area?
If the property is a single family dwelling house your neighbour can replace windows or insert a new window in the building without planning permission, as long as the materials used are similar in appearance to those used in the existing building. Some individual properties within Conservation Areas benefit from greater protection and windows cannot be inserted without planning permission. These properties are subject to an Article 4 Direction. For more information on properties subject to Article 4 Directions, please seet the Conservation Areas pages or contact the Town Planning Advice Centre.
