General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning provided it respects site surroundings in terms of scale, form, design, does not adversely affect character of townscape or amenity of residents, and has no unacceptable effect on road safety. The officer tested the balcony enclosures against character impacts (points b, c, g), noting the 1970s apartment block context with many existing enclosed balconies and similar features in Queens Court. The non-uniform style was accepted as the proposal replicates existing enclosures without adverse effects.
