The officer considered the key impacts on character, appearance, the conservation area, and neighbour amenity per General Policy 2 (GP2) and Environment Policy 35 (EP35).
General Policy 2
Requires development in residential zones to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design (b); not adversely affect townscape character (c); and not harm resident amenity or locality character (g). Officer found the modest, secluded extension complies due to low visibility and precedents of similar additions.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development in Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances character/appearance and protects special features. The modern design was not in keeping but accepted as it would not be highly visible publicly due to single-storey scale and rear position, thus preserving the area's character.
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.
