General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), not adversely affect townscape character (c), and not harm resident amenity/provide satisfactory standards (d). Officer assessed conservatory complies despite proximity, as precedents exist, design mitigates impact (hipped roof, light brick), and light/outlook effects acceptable given orientation and screening.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved drawings and 300mm boundary setback
This permission relates to the erection of a conservatory as shown in drawings PTA-44-01 received on 1st August, 2011 and PTA-44-02A, PTA-44-03A and PTA-44-4 all received on 31st August, 2011. For clarification the proposed conservatory may be built no closer to the boundary with number 2 than 300mm.
Light-coloured brick sample
The gable of the conservatory which will face the boundary with number 2 must be finished in a light coloured brick in order to minimise the loss of light to number 2. A sample of the brick to be used must be approved by the Planning Authority prior to the commencement of any building works on site.
