The officer assessed that widening the access from 4m to 5.5m would improve turning movements into and out of the site, particularly southerly egress obstructed by on-street parking and reserved space…
General Policy 2
GP2 (h) and (i) require development to provide safe access/egress and not harm amenity or highway safety. The officer found the widened access improves manoeuvrability without new highway issues, complying fully. No tension noted.
Environment Policy 35
EP35 requires preservation of conservation area character and appearance. The proposal's neutral visual impact, due to minimal wall loss and matching local variations, preserves the streetscene of stone boundaries and accesses. Assessment focused on retaining 6.5m of 8m wall.
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.
