The Director of Environmental Services submitted a Report concerning an application for Listed Building Consent to replace the windows at the Church of Scotland Manse, Daliburgh, South Uist.

The removal of original timber windows from the rear of the Manse would result in the loss of repairable elements of the original building which are important architectural and historic features in a building which has been listed for its architectural and historic interest. Accordingly, such work would be contrary to the aims of Policy PD4 of the Western Isles Structure Plan, Policy ENg9 of the Finalised Uists and Benbecula Local Plan and to the advice contained in Historic Scotland's "Memorandum of Guidance on Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas"; and

(2) the Council would notify Historic Scotland of its intention to approve amended plans which provided for the retention of the original timber windows in the rear of the Manse.
