General Policy 2
General Policy 2 sets general standards for acceptable development, including character/appearance (b,c) and neighbour amenity (g). The officer assessed the roller shutter door against these, finding it acceptable in the mixed commercial/residential streetscene with existing similar doors, and no amenity impacts. This compliance was the primary reason for approval.
Environment Policy 10 - Development and flood risk
Requires proposals in flood risk zones to be accompanied by a Flood Risk Assessment. Although the site is in a High Surface Water Flood Risk Zone, no formal assessment was required as the non-residential workshop change maintains equivalent flood risk to the existing doorway.
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.
