The key issue was whether removal of the small intermittent chimney stack between No.9 and No.10 would preserve or enhance the Ballaquayle Conservation Area's character per Environment Policy 35.
Environment Policy 35
Policy requires that within Conservation Areas, development must preserve or enhance the character or appearance, protecting special features. The officer tested the chimney removal against this, finding the small stack's loss acceptable as large chimneys and front elevation features (bay windows, peaks, railings) maintain rhythm and character; the streetscene would be preserved despite Conservation Officer concerns.
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.
