General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b); not adversely affect character of townscape (c); not adversely affect amenity of residents or character of locality (g). Officer found rear extension failed these due to visual impact; Committee disagreed given varied streetscene.

Requires extensions to relate to original building (materials, design, roof pitch/shape lower than main ridge, subordinate); consider streetscene impact, avoid jarring forms, prefer pitched over flat roofs if publicly viewable. Officer assessed pitched gables as overbearing and harmful despite amendment from flat roof; Committee found acceptable in context.
