The Nicholson Discretionary Trust

Bidwells was instructed to submit four Listed Building applications to replace 105 windows on several B and C listed buildings situated within the historic landscape. Every application was granted within the statutory determination period by satisfying Historic Environment Scotland’s (HES) requirements through supporting documentation.

What we did

• Prepared comprehensive Listed Building Consent applications provided rationale for the replacement of the features with double glazing fittings 

• Detailed supporting policy analysis to highlight compliance with policy 

• Worked collaboratively with the client’s suppliers to meet the requirements of the statutory bodies

• Closely monitored the application throughout the determination period enabled the local authority to issue all consents ahead of their statutory deadlines

Result

• Achieved consent to meet the wider scheme of project maintenance deadlines 

• The energy efficiency of the historic buildings will be enhanced, contributing to a considerable cost saving to the client 

• Residents’ health will be protected by the replacement of the windows in poor condition
