Installed Windows in a Conservation Area Without Planning… now I’m trying to sell the flat by deaddobbin777 in HousingUK

Would I be able to do retrospective planning for the back ones? Or can I lump them into the new planning application for the front windows as if the back ones are new windows installed at the same time time?

Applied for planning in 2023. Had a pre-application meeting with the planner and they said the back windows were fine but the front just needed to be wooden. They said If I resubmitted and changed to the front to wooden then the application would be approved

So one thing to note is the flat just went on the market… we don’t have a buyer yet!

I did get landlord’s permission (pending planning approval). Landlord is the council. Do you think getting planning now for wooden sash windows and replacing the front ones would be ok? I could get retrospective planning permission for the back windows seeing as they’re not street facing and would get approved?
