Stevenage Old Town: windows in their local setting
Stevenage Old Town’s High Street grew along the Great North Road, long before the post-war New Town. Coaching inns, Middle Row and surviving early buildings give it a separate identity within Stevenage. For timber windows and doors, the council’s Old Town management plan is the relevant local starting point. A replacement here should respond to the actual historic frontage, rather than a general assumption about the age of Stevenage housing.

A broad High Street with coaching-town detail
The management plan explains the High Street’s development around a market and through traffic, with inns and passages serving the road. It records early buildings on High Street, Letchmore Road and Middle Row. A doorway may therefore belong to a larger carriageway or a building altered repeatedly. Photograph the full opening and the route beyond before defining the scope of a new timber door.
Recessed sashes and retained entrance surrounds
The plan identifies Georgian and Victorian timber sash windows as characteristic and warns about the effect of heavier replacement frames. That makes frame depth and visible section as important as overall size. Compare pane divisions, rails, cills and how the unit sits back in the wall. Where older casements or entrance joinery survive, assess their condition and repair options before deciding that replacement is necessary.
Old Town and later development need separate briefs
The management plan also records more recent housing and office development within the area. A modern property inside a conservation boundary is not automatically a period cottage, while an older building may retain protected fabric behind a later front. Label the building phase and elevation on drawings. Keep a contemporary rear opening separate from work to the street façade so their different relationships are clear.
Ask Stevenage Borough Council about today’s controls
Use the current Old Town High Street conservation map and check statutory listing, Article 4 directions and any earlier planning conditions for the address. The management plan contains historical policy and procedure references, so obtain current advice rather than relying on an old legal paragraph. Provide proposed frame sections and elevations, then resolve required permissions before manufacturing timber windows or doors for the opening.
