General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character or local amenities; and provides satisfactory standards including access and parking.

Environment Policy 35
ENV35 permits only development within Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances the area's character and protects special features. The proposal was tested for impact on Peel Conservation Area; demolition has neutral effect and conservatory causes no harm due to limited visibility, preserving the area's character.
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.
