Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for rear French doors in Bath? On non-listed properties outside the World Heritage core, no — permitted development covers replacement of an existing rear door. Inside the Bath City Conservation Area, planning consent is normally required, and Listed Buildings always need Listed Building Consent.
Timber or UPVC French doors on a Bathwick frontage? On any Listed Building or Georgian principal elevation, timber is the standard requirement. UPVC is unlikely to be approved by the BANES conservation officer.
Are French doors safer than patio sliders? Both meet PAS 24 when specified to modern standards. French doors typically use multi-point locking hooks; patio sliders use anti-lift track blocks. Part Q laminated glass is standard in ground-floor positions.
