The officer's primary consideration was the impact of demolishing the single-storey rear lean-to outbuilding on the character and appearance of the Peel Conservation Area.
Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. The demolition was assessed as enhancing the area since the outbuilding lacks merit and is not visible publicly.
Environmental Policy 39
Presumes in favour of retaining buildings positively contributing to Conservation Area character. The lean-to does not contribute positively, has no architectural/historic interest, and its removal has no detrimental wider effects.
Strategic Policy 4
Requires proposals to protect or enhance the setting of Conservation Areas. The proposal respects the site's setting with no adverse townscape impact.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting site, scale, townscape character, amenity, and locality. Demolition complies as it does not adversely affect surroundings.
Time limit
The works hereby granted registered building consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this consent. Reason: To comply with paragraph 2(2)(a) of schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented registered building consents.
