The window would only require planning permission if it would materially affect the external appearance of the house, and so constitute development, and rights to alter the dwellinghouse under Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order GPDO have been removed by a planning condition or Article 4 direction.
Only in those circumstances would it be possible to take into account the effect of the window on neighbouring living conditions. But regardless of whether permission is necessary, listed building consent would be required, since it would almost certainly affect the character of a building of special architectural or historic interest. Listed building control is limited to ensuring that the building's special qualities are not harmed.
The owners now want to change the name, and remove all trace of the previous one by way of signage, etc. There is much local concern, but we are unable to find any need for the owner to submit a planning application, or require listed building consent, purely for the change of name.
Is there anything that can be done? There is nothing that can realistically be accomplished using planning or listed building powers, despite the concerns of many that an important aspect of community history should be protected.
In there was even an attempt to bring in a private members bill to curb the loss of historic pub and inn names. While it may be possible to refuse listed building consent for the removal of name signs which form part of the fabric of a pub and therefore part of its listing, this would not prevent any overall name change. Refusal of consent for any new name signs under listed building or advertisement controls could not, of course, be sustained purely on the basis of objection to the particular words employed.
Is there a statutory requirement for internal alterations to listed buildings to be advertised in a newspaper? The Planning Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Regulations specify at Article 5 1 that listed building applications shall be published in a local paper. However exemption is given by Article 5 3 for internal works related to an unstarred Grade II building. I am dealing with an enforcement case regarding the removal of internal features from a curtilage listed building.
I have heard conflicting advice as to whether this is a breach of listed building control or not. Do you have any view on this matter? I can find nothing in the Act, or in guidance PPG15, to positively suggest that the removal or alteration of interior features within such curtilage buildings is completely exempt from control.
My client wishes to replace some non-original windows on his grade 2 listed property on a like-for-like basis except that the replacements would be double glazed. However the local authority wants any replacements to reflect the character of two remaining original windows. This means employing a bespoke joiner which would make the project unviable. From your description of the proposed works it is arguable whether listed building consent is required.
My advice is that you submit a listed building consent application for the windows your client wants. Furthermore, paragraph of the Historic Environment Planning Practice Guide recommends using secondary glazing for significant windows, suggesting that for non-original windows conventional double glazing would be acceptable.

Response Although there would be very few instances where this would apply, it seems that any demolition of or works to a listed building carried out before 1 January may not be enforced against.
