Depends on your conservation office and the wording of the Article 4 direction.
Normally you must get planning permission to replace windows & doors to the front elevation only. Rear and side might not need permission but do check before you go ahead
I have a conservation area near me where they insist on timber windows and the planning application must have every section, cill, bead etc dimensioned to the millimetre to match existing before they will approve, others have allowed upvc.
Speak to your conservation office or look at the council website for other planning applications in your area to see what else has been approved recently
It will make no difference when your existing windows were installed, you will still have to follow the current rules for any replacements
Cheers
