The officer noted the window is not on the front facade but visible from East Quay, yet currently not easily discernible as a window or door due to balcony railings screening the lower wall.
Environment Policy 35
Requires proposals in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance the area's appearance and avoid adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions. The officer assessed the slight, non-adverse visual impact due to the setback, screening, and matching design as compliant, with no neighbour harm.
General Policy 2
Requires no adverse impact on living conditions of adjacent properties and preservation/enhancement in designated areas. Applied alongside ENV35; the proposal's minimal visibility and existing similar features satisfied the tests without tension.
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.
