The key issue was whether replacing the timber rear door with uPVC would preserve or enhance the Conservation Area's character per Environmental Policy 35.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site surroundings in siting, scale, design and not adversely affect townscape character or local amenity. The officer assessed the rear door replacement as compliant due to low visibility and consistency with prior approvals, posing no harm to the terrace's character.
Environment Policy 35
Permits development in Conservation Areas only if it preserves or enhances character and protects special features. The rear uPVC door was deemed non-detrimental as the area is screened, frontages define character, and uPVC matches approved rear windows.
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.
