General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site surroundings in siting, scale, design; not adversely affect townscape character or locality amenity. Officer found proposal complies as sliding sash fronts enhance uniformity, rear not prominent, similar to street scene precedents.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing conservation area character. Front sash windows reinstate original opening method, enhancing appearance; bay casements regrettable but contextual mix exists; rear acceptable as not contributing to area character.
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.
