Environment Policy 35
Requires preservation of fabric of historic interest and enhancement of non-contributory elements. The wall is not of historic interest, differing in age and colour from adjacent buildings, so its removal complies without detriment.
Environment Policy 30
Presumes against demolition of Registered Buildings. The wall is not Registered (unlike nearby Harbourmaster's House RB270, whose curtilage does not extend to it), so no conflict.
Environment Policy 32
Presumes against alterations/extensions harming character of Registered Buildings. Removal does not detrimentally affect the Harbourmaster's House or its setting.
Strategic Policy 4
Requires development to protect or enhance fabric and setting of Registered Buildings. No harm to setting as wall is non-historic and not visible publicly.
Spatial Policy 5
Requires new development to make positive contribution to the environment. Removal arguably improves the site by removing non-matching element.
Time limit
