What is proposed
Plain-language summary
Council block at 5 Piershill Sq East will swap tired timber single glazing for uPVC double-glazed sash-and-case units, lifting energy performance to EESSH2 standard without altering faade character.
As filed with the council
Works involve the replacement of poor-quality timber single glazed windows with new uPVC double glazed sliding sash & case windows. The new windows will improve the thermal performance, to assist with enabling the Council in obtaining their EESSH2 requirements and ensure the social housing is energy efficient without affecting the historical and architectural value of the building. The design of the proposed windows will be sliding sash and case windows with respect to the original frame design.
