The officer considered the fundamental issues to be the impacts of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and upon the visual amenity of the street scene.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and other policies provided it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect character of townscape or amenity of residents; and provides satisfactory amenity standards including access and road safety. The officer assessed the proposal against these criteria, finding the single-storey lobby's siting, layout, scale, form and design fit well with the existing building, with no harm to character, appearance, public views or amenity. The proposal was judged 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.
