Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
UPVC is not a suitable material in a Conservation Area as it is an artificial
modern material that would appear out of place, and will have differing
behavioural characteristics to natural materials, as set out in the
Bermondsey Street Conservation Area Appraisal. The use of uPVC
windows would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of
the Bermondsey Street Conservation Area, and would therefore be non-
compliant with Chapter 12 (Achieving well-designed and beautiful places),
Chapter 16 (Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment) of the
NPPF (2023); policy HC1 (Heritage conservation and growth) of the
London Plan (2021) policy P20 (Conservation Areas) and policy P21
(conservation of the historic environment and natural heritage) of the
Southwark Plan (2022).
