The officer noted the existing building is of no special or architectural interest and not in the Peel Conservation Area, so the recladding works are not a significant redevelopment.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site and surroundings (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), does not harm resident amenity or locality character (g), and regards energy reduction best practice (n). The officer assessed the recladding against these criteria, finding the non-significant works improve appearance and efficiency without harm, especially given prior approvals and lack of heritage interest.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
