General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; not adversely affect locality character or resident amenity. Officer assessed extension's single-storey scale, setback position, matching materials and style as compliant, with no adverse neighbour impacts due to fences and plot shape.
Type A: Uplands
Considers neighbour amenity impacts like loss of light or overbearing, especially in semi-detached 'tunnel effect'. Officer found projection and location acceptable, no overbearing on 68 Ballaquark due to design changes from refused scheme and single-storey height.
Section 4.4 Extension to Side Elevation (RDG 2019)
Addresses street scene appearance and neighbour amenity in semi-detached dwellings, avoiding terraced look. Officer noted side positioning but similar style prevents adverse visual or amenity impact.
Residential Design Guidance 5 (Architectural Details)
Covers architectural details like windows and finishes for coherent appearance. Extension matches main dwelling's casement windows, roof style and cladding.
Residential Design Guidance 7 (Impact on Neighbouring Properties)
Assesses neighbour impacts including light loss, overbearing, overlooking. Mitigated by single-storey, 2m fences, no new overlooking from decking.
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.
