Landscape Proposal 7
Requires new development to demonstrate suitable integration into the landscape through siting, colours, materials, finishes, and scale with reasonable mitigation. The officer assessed the bridge's Accoya timber (teak stained), curved design, and pond location as achieving integration, with no public visibility due to screening.
Environment Policy 1
Protects the countryside for its own sake and presumes against damaging development without overriding justification. The minor bridge in an existing garden was found not damaging.
Environment Policy 2
Similar countryside protection to ENV1; the proposal's screened location and low impact satisfied the policy tests.
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.
