The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan, focusing on visual impact and neighbour amenity.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in scale/form/design, does not adversely affect townscape character, neighbour amenity, or road safety. The officer tested the rear extension's siting, scale, and flat roof against these criteria in the urban terraced context, finding it compliant due to screening and similarity to nearby roofs. No tensions noted as all relevant tests (b, c, g, i) were met.
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.
