The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 and Business Policy 1 of the Strategic Plan 2016, and the Area Plan for the South 2013, concluding overall compliance on balance.
General Policy 2
Requires development in accordance with Area Plan zoning without adversely affecting character, amenity, access, parking, road safety, or security. Officer found no external changes so no harm to townscape or proposed CA character; parking/highway impacts minimal due to central location; no amenity harm to neighbours or others.
Business Policy 1
Encourages growth of employment opportunities if according with other policies. Officer supported as it improves vet services efficiency and range without policy conflicts.
