General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; not adversely affect Conservation Area character, amenities, highways, etc. Officer concluded overall compliance as proposal met these tests in a Conservation Area context.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character and protecting special features. Flat roof not ideal but accepted due to low height, rear siting, screening, and rear elevation not a key Conservation Area feature; preserves character.
