General Policy 2
IOMSP General Policy 2 requires development in residential areas to respect site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping (b); not adversely affect character of townscape (c); and not adversely affect amenity of residents or character of locality (g). The officer tested the proposal's total concreting of the front garden, finding it resulted in the frontage appearing as one large parking area, harming visual amenity and street scene in a cul-de-sac of similar detached dwellings. This failed the policy tests, reinforced by DEFA Residential Design Guidance against >50% front garden loss.
