General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site and surroundings (siting, layout, scale, form, design), does not adversely affect neighbouring amenities or locality character, and provides satisfactory access/parking without highway impacts. The officer tested the extensions' design, scale, and positioning against these criteria, finding them appropriate and non-prominent, with adequate separation mitigating amenity effects. No tensions noted; fully compliant in 'Predominantly Residential' zoning.
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.
