The officer considered the key issues to be potential impacts on visual amenities of the street scene and neighbouring residents.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect character, amenity of residents, or road safety. Officer tested visual impact (little noticeable effect, in keeping) and neighbour amenity (neutral overlooking from existing apertures), finding full compliance after amendments removed non-compliant elements.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Scope of approval
For the avoidance of doubt no approval is hereby given for the initially applied for rear extension or front/side boundary walling fronting onto Carrick Park. Reason: Planning approval has only been granted for the alterations to existing windows and installation of two patio doors to rear elevation as shown on amended drawing 171-02 REV A.

Conditions requested: precautionary measures to limit damage within the properties in the event of flooding, ensuring that all electric points are located above the predicted flood levels; floor levels are raised above the 1 in 100-year flood level plus an allowance for climate change plus a freeboard allowance of 600mm for residential developments
Lezayre Parish Commissioners
ObjectionRefused Unanimous; The Commissioners feel that the wall is too high and not in keeping within the feel of the estate.; the proposed extension creates a dog leg to the side of the property, potentially creating problems for the neighbouring property, number 21.
