General Policy 2
Requires development in residential zoning to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design (b), not adversely affect townscape character (c), and not harm resident amenity/locality character (g). Officer assessed dormer against these: found layout/scale/form/design matching existing with screening minimises visual harm; precedents ensure not out of character; obscure glazing condition addresses amenity.
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.
Obscure glazing south gable window
The proposed gable window in the south elevation shall be glazed with obscure glass to Pilkington Level 5 or equivalent and permanently retained as such. Reason: To safeguard the amenities of adjoining occupiers from overlooking and loss of privacy.
