The officer focused solely on whether rendering the gable wall would preserve or enhance the Conservation Area's character under Environment Policy 35.
Environment Policy 35
The policy requires that within Conservation Areas, development must preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area and protect special features. The officer tested the proposed rendering of the gable end against this, considering its limited visibility due to orientation and screening by the neighbouring property. Despite changing the appearance from brick, it was found to preserve the character given the existing render on the rear, lack of architectural importance, and local mix of finishes.
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.
