General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect character, amenities, road safety, or other listed matters. The officer assessed the flat roof form against GP2(b), finding it acceptable despite Residential Design Guide concerns because it improves on existing flat roof elements and has limited visibility due to boundary wall, with no amenity or highway harms.
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.
