General Policy 2
Requires development in residential areas to respect character and amenity. The officer assessed the proposal's scale and design against this, finding the front dormer enhances symmetry and rear amendments sufficiently mitigate visual harm despite some concerns.
Environment Policy 35
Applies due to proposed Conservation Area. Assessed for impact on character and appearance of dwelling, terrace and area, with conditions ensuring tile matching.
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.
Materials matching
For the avoidance of doubt, the tiles hung from the dormer windows hereby approved to both the front and rear elevations shall match those of the existing dwellinghouse and retained as such thereafter. Reason: In the interest of protecting the character and appearance of the dwelling, the terrace and the proposed Conservation Area in which the site sits.
