General Policy 2
GP2 requires development to respect amenity, character, and visual impact. The officer assessed the flue's tall but slim design, black colouring matching estate features, and site-specific masking by the neighbour, concluding no significant visual harm.

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.
