The officer assessed whether the proposed glazed porch would adversely impact the visual character of the converted chapel and street scene.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in residential zones if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design, and does not adversely affect the character of the locality or townscape. The officer found the porch's form, central siting, modern design, and materials would alter the chapel's linear form and character, failing these tests despite residential zoning presumption.
Environment Policy 34
ENV34 prefers traditional materials in maintenance, alteration, or extension of pre-1920 buildings. The converted chapel is pre-1920; the proposed uPVC framing, glazing, and lightweight roof were not traditional, contrasting the existing natural slate, making it inappropriate.
