GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design, does not adversely affect townscape character or resident amenity, and reduces energy consumption. The officer assessed the flat roof replacement as having minimal visual impact due to non-visibility from public views and distance from neighbours, achieving a neater appearance without detracting from traditional character, while improving energy efficiency via better thermal performance.
Environment Policy 35
EP35 requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character/appearance and protect special features. The officer found no adverse impact on Woodbourne Road Conservation Area as the extension is invisible from public thoroughfares and minimally visible from distant rear gardens, with the change not detracting from the dwelling's traditional character.
Time limit
