General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with land use zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not harm surrounding character; and does not adversely affect local residents' amenity. The officer tested the staircase against these criteria, finding it screened from public view, not objectionable visually, and no harm to neighbour amenity due to vegetation and neighbouring garage, thus compliant in a residential zoned area with presumption in favour of extensions.
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.
