The officer assessed the impact on the character of No. 6 Brunswick Road and the Selborne Drive Conservation Area, where chimney stacks contribute to roof line character.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or local amenities. Officer assessed the removal's minimal visual impact due to rear location and site isolation, finding it compliant as it respects existing character.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing conservation area character, protecting special features. Chimney removal tested against roof line contributions but deemed acceptable due to rear position, limited visibility, and lack of unique rear character, preserving overall appearance.
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.
