General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning and other policies if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, does not adversely affect amenity/character/landscape/highways/parking, and meets other tests (a-n). Officer assessed the office against all criteria despite residential zoning, finding it compliant due to modest scale, no amenity harm, limited visual impact, and excess parking on industrial site.
Business Policy 8
Requires new office buildings to respect scale/character of adjoining buildings and provide parking per Appendix 7 standards. Proposal's small scale/height matches surroundings; 6 spaces exceed 1 per 15 sq.m requirement.
Transport Policy 7
Requires parking in accordance with current standards (Appendix 7: 1 space/15 sq.m for out-of-town offices). Site provides 6 spaces versus required 2, using yard area without highway impact.
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.
Use restriction
