General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect townscape character, neighbour amenity, or road safety. The officer tested visual impact (rear siting behind main building/mature landscaping limits street scene effect; appropriate design/scale/finish) and amenity impact (screened by 5m Leylandii hedge; low height minimises overlooking/noise even if hedge removed). Proposal found compliant across relevant criteria with no tensions noted.
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.
