Planning application approved at third time of asking
A councillor who fell foul of his own planning committee over the unauthorised installation of uPVC windows at his £800,000 home in Bowdon has finally been given consent after agreeing to replace them with timber frames. Coun Phil Eckersley will now spend thousands installing the ‘acceptable’ windows of the Grange Road home to bring it into line with the regulations of the Bowdown Conservation Area.
“It is noted that all historic timber windows have now been removed from the property, including the distinctive casement windows. The current application seeks to address this harm through the replacement of the unauthorised uPVC windows to the front elevation of the property with new timber windows to be installed.”
Coun Simon Thomas said: “I am relieved to see that Coun Eckersley has agreed to the recommendations. I think it’s important that when heritage assets like this come forward that we do preserve them.
