Value is realised
I AM so pleased that Arun District Council has, at long last, realised that the architectural value of the houses in South Terrace is not enhanced by the installation of uPVC windows and the addition of satellite dishes (Gazette story, May 3).
In fact, quite the reverse.
They also lessen their value.
I am also very sorry that householders have been misled by the firms who install those windows and dishes stating that planning permission is not required.
It is a very costly business to reinstate the correct wooden ones and there are other alternatives to dishes.
