The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 (GP2) and Environment Policy 35 (EP35), focusing on whether it preserves or enhances the Conservation Area character.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in scale/form/design, not adversely affect townscape character or local amenities. Officer found proposal complies as front dormer matches neighbours for uniformity, rear has limited visibility, and no unacceptable amenity harm.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character. Key test applied to dormers; front accepted as exception due to matching surroundings and filling terrace gap, rear acceptable due to low visibility; aligns with Residential Design Guidance on dormers.
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.
