I am looking to do a rear extension. But I don't like my current windows (diamond shaped leaded glass in steel 1930's casement frames).
1. Can the current glass be changed (under PD). e.g. if I remove the diamond leaded single pane (4mm) can I replace with unleaded double glazing (4-6-4mm)?
2. If I do this prior to submission of a Planning Application can this be regarded as 'existing' for the purposes of materials to match 'existing building'.
i.e. Council usually make application conditional on "All new works and works of making good to the retained fabric shall be finished to resemble in size, colour, texture and profile those of the existing building."
What I would like to do is replace the front/side glazing now, then apply for planning for a rear extension, so that when this is built I can match the rear to the new front.
