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 siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect townscape character, neighbour amenity, or road safety. The officer tested the rear extension's visual impact (found screened and in-keeping) and amenity impact (no significant overlooking due to boundaries), confirming compliance across relevant criteria like (b), (c), (g), and (i).
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.
