General Policy 2
GP2 sets general standards for acceptable development, including character/appearance (b,c) and neighbour amenity (g).

The proposal was deemed to fit without harm.

TP7 relates to parking standards in Appendix 7. No issues raised as Highway Services had no interest, implying compliance.

Provides advice on design of extensions and impacts on neighbouring amenity (light, overshadowing, overbearing, overlooking). The flat-roofed sunroom fits the guidance, and the obscured window mitigates privacy loss.
