Original windows can be central to the special historic or architectural character of a building or area and so each case needs to be considered on its own merits. Historic England, the Government's adviser on heritage, produces a range of guidance on this matter, including <em>Traditional Windows: Their Care, Repair and Upgrading</em> : <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhistoricengland.org.uk%2Fimages-books%2Fpublications%2Ftraditional-windows-care-repair-upgrading%2Fheag039-traditional-windows-revfeb17%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7CParliamentary%40levellingup.gov.uk%7C5b823da821f24a81e89408d9ea3b30cd%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637798362198937603%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=3VFamO5XYPLrQjMiWniFwGOaqHfldeiUfPDLn1YbDfg%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/traditional-windows-care-repair-upgrading/heag039-traditional-windows-revfeb17/</a> .</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 07/02/2022 17:48:42 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
