The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 and Planning Circular 8/89, which require substantial high-quality dwellings in well-treed parkland settings with retention of existing trees…
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan carries most material weight for proposals in land zoned for its current use (Existing Low Density Housing in Parkland). The officer assessed the extension's scale, design, and impact on trees against this policy, concluding it respects the site's character without discord. Planning Circular 8/89 supplements this, requiring substantial high-quality dwellings with retained trees in large open grounds; minor garden loss was not deemed unduly harmful.
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.
Tree protection
The protection measures and construction methods detailed in the Tree Survey and Report submitted with the application (date-stamped as having been received 11th August 2017) shall be adhered to in full. No tree shown as being retained on Drawing 6 (date-stamped as having been received 11th August 2017) shall be cut down, uprooted or wilfully destroyed during the development phase and thereafter within 5 years from the completion date, except as may be permitted by prior approval in writing from the Department. Reason: In the interest of protecting the well-treed setting for the dwelling, given the land's zoning.
