The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2, noting it does not conflict with the Public Open Space zoning and respects the site in terms of siting, scale, form, and landscaping.
General Policy 2
Requires development in accordance with land use zoning that respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, landscaping; does not adversely affect landscape character, wildlife/habitats, amenity of residents/locality, or prejudice adjoining land; incorporates topography; ensures safety/security. Officer assessed the skate park extension fits Public Open Space zoning, is ancillary recreational use with minimal visual/amenity impact due to below-ground design and separation from dwellings, integrates with sloping topography, and enhances community facilities without tension.
Does not oppose this planning application (DNO); no impact on existing internal footpath network or surrounding area.
