Frequently asked questions
Do I need Listed Building Consent for a bay in Cambridge? If your property is listed, yes — always. Inside the Central Conservation Area on an unlisted property, planning consent is normally needed for any street-facing bay change. Cambridge City Council’s conservation officer generally requires timber and the original glazing pattern and mullion spacing.
Is a bay replacement structural work? Sometimes. On Victorian villas with load-bearing bay boards, a structural engineer’s calculation is required and Cambridge building control will inspect. FENSA does not cover that element.
How long does an average bay job take? On a like-for-like UPVC replacement with a sound bay board, five to eight hours. A full timber conservation-approved bay with fresh flashing can take two to four days.
