The main issue was the impact of the proposed uPVC mahogany colour door on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the individual property.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b); not adversely affect townscape character (c); and not harm amenity or locality character (g). Officer assessed the door's design as failing these by harming the terrace's period character in a prominent Conservation Area location.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development within Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances character/appearance and protects special features. Officer found the uPVC door's inappropriate style would neither preserve nor enhance, contrasting with retained original doors on six of nine terrace properties.
