Decision & Reasoning

Approved7 December 2020

The officer considered the fundamental issues to be the impacts on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and visual amenity of the surrounding area.

Policies Assessed (1)

General Policy 2

GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, and landscaping; does not adversely affect character, amenity, or road safety; and meets other criteria like access and services. The officer assessed the single-storey extension as modest and subservient, screened from view, with no amenity or highway harm, thus compliant. No tensions noted.

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.
