The officer assessed visual impact and neighbour amenity as the main issues. Dormers with pitched roofs were judged not out of place in the streetscene.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not harm landscape/townscape character, residential amenity or road safety. Officer tested rear extension's roof design (pitched sides, flat roof below ridgeline) against visual impact from public views/lane, finding it acceptable as it overcomes prior refusal and replaces existing flat roof. Balcony size reduction and screening addressed amenity tests for overlooking.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
