General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in zoned areas if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design, avoids adverse impacts on townscape character, protects amenity/locality character, provides safe access/parking, and reduces energy use. The officer tested the sun lounge replacement against these criteria, finding it compliant due to similar construction to the existing conservatory, high finish standards, no harm to industrial streetscene or parking, and improved insulation. The industrial zoning tipped the balance in its favour.
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.
