Environment Policy 35
EP 35 requires that within Conservation Areas, development must preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area and protect special features from inappropriate development. The officer assessed the rooflight replacements against this, focusing on the front elevation's public visibility and confirming the like-for-like size (0.55m x 0.78m) and conservation style would preserve the property and area character. No tension arose as the proposal was deemed fully compliant.
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.
