General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning provided it respects site and surroundings (siting, layout, scale, form, design), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, amenities of residents, or locality character. The officer tested the window replacements and enlargements against visual impact on street scene (found appropriate design/form/size/finishes) and neighbouring amenities (no increased overlooking). The site is zoned for 'Building for Civic, Cultural & Other Special Use' under the Area Plan for the East, supporting the proposal.
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.
