Developer seeks planning permission after the fact

The planning application with reference 24/00772/FUL appears to be a response to concerns raised by neighbours regarding the unauthorised replacement of traditional bay windows with the installation of flat windows and French doors to a property on Manchester Road in Crosspool. This application was officially received and validated on the 12th of March, 2024. Those interested or affected by this application can submit their comments to the local planning authority for consideration

Altering windows and doors can significantly change the appearance and character of a property and in many cases, the insertion of new windows and doors, that are of a similar appearance to those used in the original construction of the house, generally don’t require planning permission. However, if the changes are made without the necessary permissions, the local planning authority may take legally binding enforcement action for the reversal of the changes.

While I do embrace the idea of improving and modernising property’s to keep up with modern living and improving EPC ratings. The property on Manchester Road is so out of character it frankly looks awful. If this property was in isolation or in a different area then it may not look so bad but it is hard to ever imagine looking at the property without passing a negative comment.
I enjoy walks around Crosspool and love the architecture and thought that has gone into some of the property’s and also the uniformity of other property’s but how anyone would think that this particular property looks anything other than ridiculous is hard to comprehend.
I am also wishing to raise a concern about the state of the pavement outside the property that has been ruined by the heavy vehicles that have been off loading materials during the works and the grass verge that has been churned up.
