The key issue was the potential impact of chimney removal on the visual amenities of the street scene, as chimneys can contribute to design and character.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character or residential amenity; and meets other criteria like access and safety. The officer tested the chimney removal against townscape impact (c) and amenity (g), finding it acceptable due to the rear outrigger context and adjacent retained features. No tensions noted as the site is residential-zoned and not in a Conservation Area.
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.
