General Policy 2
Requires development in residential zoning to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or local amenities. Officer found the extension's scale, single-storey form, and location accord as it is subordinate, semi-secluded, and causes no amenity harm.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development in Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances character/appearance and protects special features. The pitched roof matches existing, extension not visible publicly, remains secondary to main building, and flue not harmful, thus complying with the strict 'preserve or enhance' test.
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.
