Before starting a home improvement project, it’s smart to check with your local authority to see if you need planning permission. Usually, you won’t need permission to install double glazing as long as they look like the ones already in your house. Replacing your windows won’t cause any problems with your neighbours or neighbourhood.
There are a few cases where you might need permission:
- If your house is a listed building
- If your house is in a conservation area
- If you live in a flat
- If there is an Article 4 Directive that applies to your building
Our Elite Sliding Sash uPVC windows are often installed in buildings that have an Article 4 Directive. If you want to add a bay window to your house, that counts as an extension and could need planning permission.
If you order replacement windows from us, then we take care of any planning permission. We help thousands of people each year with various projects. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
