How absolutely hideous. The owners should be forced to reinstate with new box sash windows. There are any number of top-class companies who can do this work. It is in any case a false econony as they will look awful in a couple of years and will take a big bite off the value of the house.

If there is a link to which I can add support or contact them then please let me know, as I am keen to voice my objections on this too.

This is a last minute reminder.  If you haver not yet written to Object to these uPVC windows - please do so now.  Haringey Enforcement will take action if the application is refused.  Ask Haringey to refuse it.

 Please do comment on this retrospective planning application which is for UPVC windows to one of a pair of what were very fine houses in Palmerston Road.  See photo

 It is past the official date, but the application has not yet been decided – so do write now.

 They bashed out the fine timber windows and put these in on October 1^st last year.   Enforcement Action is ready to be taken if the application is refused.  We do need a successful enforcement action on one of these rogue UPVC window jobs, and then the heritage of our area is a little more protected.

Good news indeed.  Thank you.

Now we have to see if the applicant appeals.  If they do - we must write more letters.  if they don't.... then we look forward to enforcement action to replace the timber windows.

Let us hope this, together with the previous decision on Palmerston Road, sends out a clear message that people cannot knock out timber windows in the Conservation Area.
