General Policy 2
General Policy 2 applies to development in Predominantly Residential zones. The officer assessed the decking against relevant parts of this policy alongside Environment Policy 35, finding it acceptable due to its modest scale and lack of public visibility, which preserves the Conservation Area.
Environment Policy 35
Environment Policy 35 of the Strategic Plan protects Conservation Areas. The decking was tested for impact on character and appearance; it was deemed satisfactory as the yard is screened from public view by a 2.5m stone wall, ensuring no harm to the area's special qualities.
