Decision & Reasoning

Approved5 May 2016

The officer assessed the impact on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and its effect on neighbouring properties and the street scene.

Policies Assessed (1)

GP2

General Policy 2

General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; and does not adversely affect the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality. The officer assessed the proposal against these criteria, finding the modest single storey extension subservient to the host, with minimal visual impact and no adverse amenity effects due to boundary separation and lack of openings.
