The key issue was whether the demolition works would adversely impact the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.
Environment Policy 35
Requires that within Conservation Areas, only development preserving or enhancing character/appearance is permitted, protecting special features. Officer assessed demolition against this, finding no adverse impact as structures lack merit. Echoes PPS 1/01 on historic environment.
Environmental Policy 39
Presumption in favour of retaining buildings positively contributing to Conservation Area character/appearance. Structures proposed for demolition do not make such contribution, so removal acceptable.
Time limit
The works hereby granted registered building consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this consent. Reason: To comply with paragraph 2(2)(a) of schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented registered building consents.
