The officer considered the fundamental issues to be the potential impacts on the character and appearance of Vardale and the wider street scene.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 states that development in accordance with land-use zoning and Area Plan proposals will normally be permitted if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping; does not adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; and does not adversely affect the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality. The officer assessed the porch extension against these criteria, finding minimal impact on the property's appearance due to matching render and flat roof design, and no significant harm to the streetscene given existing extensions and the site's topography.
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.
