would changing the existing sliding door to a standard window be an exempted development.
I have asked work colleagues and it’s 50/50 Yes/No.

Id sign an opinion on exemption based on section 4 1 h of the planning and development regs but I'd be inclined to say install a low level cill so that nobody could argue that the change wasn't in keeping.

I’d also say exempt. You’re above the distance limits for windows at ground floor level etc
