General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, scale, design; not adversely affect character of landscape/townscape or amenity of residents; and consider energy reduction best practice. Officer assessed ASHPs protect registered building setting, respect area character due to low-visibility location, have no adverse amenity impact from noise at distance, and promote renewable energy.
Strategic Policy 4
Requires protection or enhancement of fabric and setting of Registered Buildings. Officer found ASHPs sited in least visible position relative to building size, adjacent but not attached, facing non-public grounds, thus protecting fabric and setting of RB 172.
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.
