1 Design and Access Statement for replacement of windows and doors at Blacksmiths Cottage Sutton Road Mount Pleasant Derbyshire DE65 5DE

2 Design and Access Statement This application is for the installation of replacement windows and doors to replace all existing windows and doors, many of which are rottenand of poor appearance. The replacement windows and doors will retain the overall external appearance of the existing windows and doors to match surrounding properties, but will be significantly improved in terms of build quality, energy efficiency and detailed appearance. Communications with SDDC Heritage and Conservation Officer ( s attached to application) suggested several improvements which have been taken account in this application. For example replacement of bonded glazing barswith actual bars, kept as thin as possible, and removal of ugly trickle vents. Example drawings (enclosed with application) have been obtained from a local joiner, Bartrams of Burton, who have experience making windows and doors for surrounding properties to the required standards. The following pages show photographs of the existing windows anddoors on each elevation of the house and details of the proposed changes.
