The principal issues were the potential impact on neighbouring amenities (overlooking, loss of light, overbearing impact) and visual impacts on the street scene.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect neighbouring amenity or locality character; and meets other criteria like road safety and services. The officer assessed the modest re-roofing as having no significant amenity impacts on neighbours and being more in keeping visually from the rear location, thus complying overall. No tensions noted as the proposal met the policy tests for residential zoning.
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.
