Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. The officer assessed the demolition and conservatory as having neutral impact, not detracting from character, thus compliant. No tension noted as the elements are not publicly visible.
CA/6 Demolition in Conservation Areas
Presumes against demolition of buildings positively contributing to conservation area character; for detracting buildings, assesses replacement merits and wider effects. The porch was deemed unsympathetic and non-contributory; conservatory replacement acceptable with neutral impact on surroundings and area. Similar criteria to RB/6 applied.
RB/3 General Criteria Applied in Considering Registered Building Applications
Provides general criteria for registered building applications. Applied alongside CA/6; no specific issues raised, contributing to overall approval.
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.
