What's your taste got to do with him? Perhaps he doesn't want crappy
wooden windows that need painting and rot?

So don't buy a Victorian house, then. Simple job solved. Will everyone who
hates wooden windows please **** out of the conservation areas or just lump
it?

There really aren't that many conservation areas, you aren't forced to live
there. However, those that do live there reserve the right to tell your
stone cladding and uPVC to **** right off back to the chavvy council estates
where they belong.
