General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b); not adversely affect townscape character (c); not affect resident amenity or locality character (d); and reduce energy consumption (e). The officer confirmed compliance as the door replacement does not detract from appearance, character, or amenity in the terraced Conservation Area setting.
Environment Policy 35
Permits development in Conservation Areas only if it preserves or enhances character/appearance and protects special features. Tested the uPVC door's impact; while not enhancing, it preserves character via maintenance and side panel retention, acceptable after Conservation Officer input despite uPVC concerns.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
No approval for door frame replacement
For the avoidance of doubt no approval is given for the replacement of the existing timber door frame, including side windows/panels and fan window above. Reason: No approval is sought and in the interests of the character and appearance of the property and Conservation Area.
