General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), does not adversely affect townscape character (c), protects resident amenity/locality character (g), provides satisfactory standards including access (h), and reduces energy consumption (n). Officer tested rear alterations against these, finding works invisible from street, no amenity harm, positive tidying effect from lane, no overlooking, and energy improvements via modern materials, thus fully compliant.
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.
