General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), not adversely affect surrounding character (c), and not harm resident amenity/locality character (g). Officer found dormer modest, rear-sited, in keeping with no incongruous effect, and tile change blending better; obscure glazing prevents overlooking, ensuring no amenity harm.
Environmental Policy 22
Prohibits development unacceptably harming amenity via noise/light pollution (iii). Assessed as acceptable due to rear orientation, screening to north, 50m distance to west dwelling, and small scale preventing nuisance from shower room use.
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.
Obscure glazing
The proposed rear bathroom window at first floor level shall be glazed with obscure glass to Pilkington Level 5 or equivalent and permanently retained as such. Reason: To safeguard the amenities of adjoining occupiers from overlooking and loss of privacy.
