General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design, does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, resident amenity, locality character, provides safe access/parking/manoeuvring, and avoids unacceptable road safety/traffic impacts. The officer assessed the internal welfare facilities and concrete resurfacing against these criteria, finding no external changes harming appearance, no amenity impacts on nearby bungalow, compatibility with industrial character dominated by vehicles and hard surfacing, unchanged access/parking endorsed by Highway Services, and adequate drainage.
