General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), does not harm landscape/townscape character (c), protects resident amenity/locality character (g), provides safe access/parking (h), and avoids unacceptable road safety/traffic impacts (i). The officer tested the proposal against these, finding the modest garage door change blends with the terrace, causes no net parking loss due to door width and shared kerb, and is supported by Highway Services, thus fully compliant in a Predominantly Residential Use area.
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.
