General Policy 2
Requires development in zoning to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; not adversely affect character, amenity, or adjoining land. Officer assessed proposal as compliant due to modest scale, matching materials, enclosure within fence, no amenity/parking impact, and consistency with established civic use.
Environment Policy 10
Requires Flood Risk Assessment for sites with potential flood risk. No FRA submitted, technically failing the policy, but officer accepted due to internal relocation to less flood-prone area, no level changes or new equipment.
Environment Policy 11
Permits coastal development if no increased flood/erosion risk or prejudice to sea defences. Site near River Glass; officer noted relocation mitigates flood risk without impacting coastal processes.
Environment Policy 13
Prohibits development causing unacceptable flood risk. Officer concluded no increased on/off-site risk from modest extension/relocation on higher ground.
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.
