Default Adherence to Building Regs... or not?

On Thu, 22 Jan 2004 17:20:46 +0000, a particular chimpanzee named Nick
Brooks randomly hit the keyboard and
produced:

The exception to the above comments is listed buildings. While you may
be subject to other restrictions you do not have to use modern windows
but can use single glazed ones.


Not necessarily. If you have to replace windows with single-glazed or
thin double-glazed as a condition of any Listed Bldg/ Conservation
Area consent, then reasonable provision for energy conservation should
be made elsewhere where practicable (i.e., increased loft insulation,
more efficient replacement boiler, etc.).
