General Policy 2
Parts (b), (c), (g), (h) and (i) require proposals to respect visual amenities, residential character, parking standards, and avoid harm to neighbouring amenities. The officer found the proposal compliant as it is identical to the existing garage in all respects except the door design, preserving streetscene character and existing parking without loss.
Transport Policy 7
Requires adequate parking and no undue highway impact. Assessed as acceptable since the internal garage dimensions (5m x 3m) match existing provision with no change to on-site parking capacity, supported by Highway Services' no objection.
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.
