General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character, local amenities, or locality character. The officer assessed the demolition against criteria (b), (c), (g), finding no adverse impacts from the minor boundary changes, as the church dominates the character.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Demolition assessed per section 7.32, considering the fences' role; removal accepted as not harming wider area character despite boundary consistency loss.
Environmental Policy 39
Mentioned as relevant but not detailed; applied in overall Conservation Area assessment alongside ENV35.
Time limit
