Plans have been submitted for changes to a listed building in Ipswich to address work which was refused last year.

The proposals aim to rectify works to a property on High Street which were completed without the retrospective permission of Ipswich Borough Council.

The council refused the work on the listed building after a retrospective application was submitted last July was found to have caused harm to the character of the building.

The application said: "The replacement windows will be like for like in appearance with white painted timber sash and flush casement windows so that the charm, character and appearance is retained."

However, a planning officer from Ipswich Borough Council found that the applicant had used "off-the-shelf uPVC" and that the work had harmed the character of the building. 

In the new application, the design and access statement said: "This current application seeks to rectify the matter through a new application proposing to remove the refused windows and door by replacing them with new appropriate materials and details. As a result, the setting and character of the listed building will be reinstated"
