General Policy 2
Requires consideration of character and appearance. The officer found the rear door replacement preserves the Conservation Area character due to its concealed location, with no adverse effect on the townscape.
Strategic Policy 4
Seeks to protect or enhance the fabric and setting of Conservation Areas. Assessed as compliant because the works are not visible from public areas and have negligible impact.
Environment Policy 35
Guides development in Conservation Areas. The proposal preserves character as the door is enclosed in the rear yard behind high walls.
Environment Policy 34
Prefers traditional materials for pre-1920 buildings. Non-timber composite door fails strict alignment, but acceptable due to rear location in service lane without replicated historic details.
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 front door
For the avoidance of doubt no approval is hereby given to the replacement front door or front door frame. Reason: In the interest of the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
