General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning and other policies if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not harm character, amenities, highways, or habitats. The officer assessed the extension as compliant, noting its subservient scale, matching materials, and lack of prominence from the road, with no adverse impacts on residential amenity or traffic.
Environment Policy 32
ENV32 prohibits extensions/alterations to Registered Buildings that detrimentally affect special architectural/historic interest. Though not yet Registered, the building is worthy of consideration; the officer judged the minor addition acceptable as it does not harm character, supported by the former Conservation Officer's view of minimal impact.
RB/5 Alterations and Extensions
Similar to ENV32, protects Registered Buildings from detrimental alterations. Assessed alongside ENV32; proposals found not to detract due to modest scale and rear location of canopy.
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.
