General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or local amenities. Officer assessed window replacement against (b), (c), (g), finding it acceptable as it matches existing proportions/opening without harming character.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Proposal tested for visible front windows; accepted as replicating existing opening/method with neutral-beneficial effect despite uPVC, given extension's later construction.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
