General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it does not adversely affect amenity of residents or locality character. The officer assessed the roof terrace's amenity impacts (noise, privacy) and found them acceptable in the town centre context with mixed uses, 20m separation to gym, and limited oblique views.
Environment Policy 35
EP35 requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. The modern flat-roof section's alterations (larger rooflight, glazed balustrades) were found to have negligible impact, not harming the building or wider historic area due to matching proportions and modern compatibility.
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.
