The officer noted no justification was provided for the windbreak but deemed it reasonable given potential wind gusts affecting shop operations.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 sets out general development considerations. Although the site is in retail use within an industrial zone, GP2 was judged the most relevant policy. The officer assessed the proposal's effect on character and appearance, finding the contemporary steel and glass design acceptable as it would break up the building's stark frontage massing without harming the area.
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.
