Environment Policy 42
Requires new development in settlements to respect local character and identity, prohibiting inappropriate backland development or loss of green spaces contributing to amenity. Officer assessed the replacement building's height, detailing (projecting bays, vertical windows, mansard roof), and setback as enhancing the streetscene despite minor height increase, with dark upper materials minimising prominence.
Housing Policy 5
Requires 25% affordable housing in residential developments of 8+ dwellings. Due to apartment sizes not suiting affordable units, a commuted sum payment via Section 13 Agreement was negotiated and executed instead.
Appendix 7
Recommends 2 spaces per dwelling for apartments, relaxable in town centres considering public transport and character impact. 20 spaces (over 2 per apartment) provided in basement, with Highways confirming compliance including access visibility.
