fenestration
Wandsworth Council recently approved alterations to Chivalry Hall, including changes to its fenestration, despite objections from its heritage committee.
In March 2026, planning permission for alterations to Chivalry Hall, including changes to its fenestration, was granted by delegated authority at Wandsworth Council. This decision was made despite unanimous objections from the council's Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee, which expressed strong disappointment and cited significant heritage concerns regarding the proposed changes.
The committee's objections, first raised in January 2026, focused on the impact of replacement windows and doors, rooflights, and solar panels on the building's historical character. They viewed the alterations to the fenestration – the arrangement and design of windows and other openings – as potentially damaging the understanding of the hall's original use.
