General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning provided it respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b); does not adversely affect townscape character (c); and does not harm resident amenity or locality character (g). The officer tested the window blocking and rendering against these criteria, confirming no adverse impacts and a positive enhancement to appearance by matching original smooth render prevalent in the street. The site's Predominantly Residential zoning in the Douglas Local Plan 1998 was noted as appropriate.
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.
