General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping; not adversely affect landscape/townscape character or local amenity; and consider energy reduction. Officer assessed the proposal's scale, heights matching existing, modern glazing fitting the property, and minimal visual impact in the varied estate of detached bungalows, finding full compliance with no adverse effects.
Environment Policy 4
Prohibits development adversely affecting protected species/habitats of international, national or local importance, including those in Areas of Ecological Importance. Site is in Nature Conservation Zones; officer noted works away from main scrub land, no impact on ecology, and no DEFA advice sought as no evident issues.
Environmental Policy 9
Adopts precautionary approach to erosion/land instability, prohibiting development on receding cliffs. Property on coastline with small rear garden; officer confirmed gabion stabilisation works (as on adjacent properties) mitigate risks, with proposal sited away from rear except glazing replacement, ensuring no foundation impact on stability.
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.
