General Policy 2
GP2 requires development to respect land-use zoning, with paragraph 8.12.1 favouring residential development in residential areas. The officer assessed the proposal against tests (b, c, g) relating to amenity, character, and design, finding it compliant as the dormer is subordinate and the extension acceptable in this predominantly residential zone.
Environment Policy 42 - character and need to adhere to local distinctiveness
EP42 requires new development to take into account the character and identity of the locality. The officer tested the dormer replacement, noting its larger size and new features but concluding no significant harm to the streetscene or Conservation Area character, thus not at odds with the policy.
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.
Scope of approval
For the avoidance of doubt this approval relates only to the replacement front dormer and a rear extension only, and no approval is granted to any other works including any creation or changes to any rear parking area. Reason: The application has been assessed on this basis only as per the submitted application and any other works may require being assessed as part of a separate application.
