The officer assessed the visual impact on the character and appearance of the property and streetscene as the fundamental issue.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and other policies if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character; and does not harm local amenities. The officer assessed the canopy removal and glazing alterations against these criteria, finding no detriment to the property, streetscene, or locality in a residential-zoned area, thus fully complying.
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.
