General Policy 2
GP2 sets general standards for new development including design and highway safety. The officer tested the garage's mass, positioning, and amendments against design criteria, finding it acceptable and in character. Highway safety (parts h and i) was satisfied post-amendments addressing visibility concerns.
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.
