General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect the character of the surrounding townscape; and does not affect the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality. The officer assessed the roof tile replacement against these criteria, focusing on visual impact in the street scene and neighbour compatibility, concluding it would have no significant adverse effects given local variety in roof colours and the non-conservation status.
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.
