General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; not adversely affect character of locality or amenities; provide satisfactory standards including access and parking. Officer assessed extension's subordinate form, matching materials, lower ridge height, and no adverse amenity impacts post-amendments as compliant. No tensions noted.
Section 4.4 Extension to Side Elevation (RDG 2019)
Requires side extensions over garages to appear subordinate with matching pitched roof lower than main ridge, proportionate height/width, avoid terracing by setbacks or gaps, maintain visual breaks. Proposal's lower roof, matching design/features, and space to boundary without terracing effect met guidance; no setback needed due to existing garage alignment and uniform render finish.
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.
