Alastair Gourlay replaced the old windows due to rot, making changes he deemed minor, including plant on astragals for aesthetic and efficiency improvements.
Despite Mr Gourlay’s claims that the new windows matched the original's style and materials, the council argued that the joinery details did not align with listed building standards.
With a focus on preserving the character of Duchlage Farmhouse, Gourlay aimed to create new windows that were 'like for like' but met modern efficiency standards.
The council’s rejection follows the need for listed building consent because the property is B listed and situated within a conservation area.
