General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping (b), does not adversely affect surrounding landscape/townscape character (c), and does not adversely affect resident amenity or locality character (g). The officer tested the external alterations against these criteria, finding the modernised porch, balustrading, and bi-folding doors improved rather than harmed the bungalow's character in its residential context, with no amenity or overlooking issues due to reduced patio size.
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.
