Windows that adorn listed buildings tend to be prominent features that invariably enhance the beauty of the house and give it its unique character. Your windows may well be of historic importance, particularly if the original glass is present or the design or detail is unique.

If this is not possible, or if you are seeking to make alterations or replace your windows, planning consent may be needed and Timothy Perris can guide you accordingly.
