General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; does not harm landscape/townscape character; provides satisfactory amenity, access, parking; no adverse road safety effects; considers safety/security; and reduces energy use.

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.
