General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), not adversely affect townscape character (c), and not harm resident amenity/locality character (g). Officer tested rear extension/dormer against these, finding limited visual impact due to screening and rear location, plus acceptable amenity effects from obscure glazing, high-level positioning, and 40m separation.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character/appearance, protecting special features. Assessed dormer and extension for impact on Douglas (Ballaquayle Road) CA setting; small scale, rear positioning, and subservient design (e.g. 1m projection) result in negligible visual harm, respecting existing building.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
