General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), and does not harm resident amenity or locality character (g). The officer assessed the extension's single-storey gable form, shallow pitch, matching finishes and 28sqm scale against these, finding it appropriate despite minor concerns on pitch and length, as it fits the contemporary dwelling and streetscene without undue harm. Rear fenestration reduction and distances satisfied amenity tests.
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.
no highway implications
Marown Parish Commissioners raised concerns about the positioning and height of the flue/chimney for a multi-fuel stove potentially causing smoke nuisance to neighbours across multiple responses; Highways Division has no highways interest.
Key concern: chimney too close to adjacent property causing smoke nuisance
MAROWN PARISH COMMISSIONERS
Conditional No ObjectionThe Commissioners have no objection in principle to the proposal. They have concerns, however, that the flue for the multi-fuel stove is poorly positioned and not high enough.; They believe the current proposal for this will likely cause a smoke nuisance to neighbouring properties.
MAROWN PARISH COMMISSIONERS
No Commentconsideration by the Planning Office could be deferred until after the end of the following week
MAROWN PARISH COMMISSIONERS
ObjectionThe Commissioners consider that the longer chimney alone will not address their concerns and that it should be relocated at the far end of the extension so as to minimise or remove any smoke nuisance to nearby properties - the chimney is too close to the adjacent property and the Commissioners have doubt that the increased height alone will deal with an anticipated problem.
Conditions requested: chimney should be relocated at the far end of the extension so as to minimise or remove any smoke nuisance to nearby properties
