The officer found the widening of the vehicular access has no adverse impact on the appearance of the street scene and is not adverse to public amenity.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping, does not harm landscape/townscape character, resident amenity/locality character, provides safe access/adequate parking, and avoids unacceptable road safety/traffic impacts. The officer assessed the retrospective driveway widening against these criteria, finding no adverse impacts on street scene, amenity, or highways, improved parking/access, and retained adequate garden amenity despite some loss, thus fully compliant.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
