Hi,
I've just received feedback from local PA that planning will be granted for our house but that we must change our windows to the front to a "Vertical Emphasis" type. The windows previously included in the planning had a 'triangular' peak at the top to follow the shape of the outshot apex's. Has anybody any similar experience or what are my chances of now having the planner permit the original window design. We really wanted the original type and had them included as the primary feature in the house's facade. Thanks.
 
You can have horizontal windows with a vertical emphasis, if you do it correctly. There is an example of this in the Cork Rural House building Guide.
