General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, scale, form, design (b); does not adversely affect townscape character (c); and does not harm resident amenity or locality character (g).

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.
