Winter light and glass choice in Newtown

Rules for timber windows in Wales
The rules for replacement windows in Wales are set by Approved Document L for Wales (2022 edition, with 2024 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. As in England, replacement windows are a controlled fitting: a competent person scheme installer self-certifies the work, or building control approves it.
Planning: Householder permitted development rules do not cover flats, and councils can remove rights with Article 4 directions. Listed buildings need listed building consent. Check with your council before changing the style or material.
How it works

Questions from Newtown
Do timber windows need planning permission?
Replacing like-for-like windows on a house is normally permitted development, but conservation areas, Article 4 directions and listed buildings have their own rules. See our planning guide.
Are timber windows warmer than uPVC?
They can be. Timber insulates well, and a deep timber frame with triple glass reaches whole-window U-values around 0.8 to 1.1, similar to good uPVC.
How long does it take to get triple glazed timber windows fitted in Newtown?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 6 to 10 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
Do I need permission for triple glazed timber windows in Newtown?
In Wales, householder rules do not cover flats, councils can use Article 4 directions, and listed buildings need consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
