Thinking of Upgrading Your Windows or Doors?
Expert Planning Services for Heritage Windows and Doors
At Heritage Window Planning Services, we specialise in one thing only. Helping people secure planning permission for replacing windows and doors in listed buildings and conservation areas. Whether you're a homeowner, installer, or builder, we guide you through every step, making sure your application is presented properly and stands the best chance of approval. Planning rules around heritage properties can be confusing, but we make them simple.
We don’t just offer advice, we handle the full process for you. That includes preparing drawings, writing heritage statements, submitting the application, and dealing with the council on your behalf. If you’re not sure where to start or what you’ll need, just send us your address and a few photos. We’ll review everything and let you know what’s required, along with a clear, fixed cost.
Every property is different, which is why we tailor each application to meet the specific requirements of your local authority. We work across the UK and can manage the entire process remotely. Whether you’re replacing rotten timber sash windows or upgrading to slimline double glazing, we make sure the new design is in keeping with the character of your home — and fully compliant with planning policy.
What We Do
We specialise in securing planning permission for homeowners, builders, and window companies across the UK. Our services include:
Listed Building Consent
Applications tailored for Grade I, Grade II, and Grade II* homes. We provide the detail that conservation officers require, ensuring historical sensitivity and planning compliance from the start.
Conservation Area Planning
Expert support for sash windows, timber doors, slimline glazing, and other upgrades in protected areas. We ensure all changes meet heritage policy without disrupting building character.
Heritage & Design Statements
We prepare full planning documents to explain and justify your changes. Every statement aligns with national guidance and local planning requirements to improve approval outcomes.
Drawings & Elevation Plans
We provide scaled plans, elevation drawings, and section details for submission. If you don’t have manufacturer drawings, we’ll create what’s needed to meet planning authority formats.
Planning Research Support
We check relevant local approvals, appeal decisions, and policy maps to guide your application. This helps avoid delays and strengthens your position with evidence-led justification.
Liaison with Authorities
We speak directly with planners, respond to any technical queries, and submit supporting information if needed. This reduces stress, improves clarity, and avoids back-and-forth delays.
Fast Turnaround, Fixed Fees
Once we’ve received your survey notes, photos and any necessary dimensions or product info, we aim to submit your full application within 1–2 weeks.
No hidden extras. No hourly rates. Just clear, fixed pricing for each service.
