The officer assessed the impact of the retrospective chimney removal on the character and appearance of the existing building and its impact on the local environment.
Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 states that the extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. The officer applied this to the 'alteration' of removing the rear chimney stack, finding no increased impact due to its non-visible location from public views and matching re-tiling that maintains roof uniformity. No tension noted as the change reduces rather than increases visual prominence.
