General Policy 2
Requires no unacceptable impacts on visual amenity, residential amenity, or flood risk. Officer tested rear extensions against visual/character, neighbour overlooking/light/overbearing, and flood ingress risks, finding all compliant due to design integration, separations, and no level changes.

Requires adherence to local distinctiveness and character. Extensions subordinate to main dwelling, matching materials/form, preserving bungalow character.
Environment Policy 10 - Development and flood risk
Flood concerns. No additional risk as drainage to existing systems, no level changes.
Environment Policy 13 - Development and flood risk
Prohibits development with unreasonable/unacceptable flood risk. Mitigated by elevated door (400mm) and no floor changes despite high surface water risk area.
