General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), avoids harm to landscape/townscape character (c), protects resident amenity and locality character (g), provides safe access/parking (h), and avoids road safety/traffic issues (i). The officer tested the proposal's height increase, roof form, and extensions against these, finding compliance due to distances preventing overlooking, transitional scale to nearby two-storey properties, and no access changes. Strategic Plan paragraph 8.12.1 adds presumption for extensions in built-up areas without adverse impacts.
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.
