The main issues were the proposal's impact on the Registered Building's special architectural/historic character (EP32) and the Peel Conservation Area (EP35).
Environment Policy 32
Requires that extensions or alterations to Registered Buildings not detrimentally affect their special architectural or historic character. Officer found proposal acceptable as it causes no demonstrable harm to public appreciation of the building's interest, due to limited visibility, setback dormer, and matching existing features; Conservation Officer applied RB/3 and RB/5 criteria, noting general presumption against alterations but convincing case made given prior dormers and invisibility.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Assessed as compliant since proposal preserves area character with no harm to building's special interest, similar conclusions to EP32 due to minimal visual impact.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
