The officer assessed the proposal against Strategic Policy 3, General Policy 2 (criteria b, c, g), Environment Policies 34 and 42, the Residential Design Guide, and Planning Circular 1/98.
Strategic Policy 3 - To respect the character of our towns and villages
Focuses on visual design of development and impact on character and identity of locality. Officer assessed proposal's design, scale, and materials as according with its aims, with no roof height increases and retention of dominant roof features ensuring no harm to streetscene or landscape.
General Policy 2
Requires development in accordance with proposals map to respect site/surroundings in design, not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, and not harm amenity or locality character (criteria b, c, g). Proposal met these as residential development is acceptable in principle, with negligible amenity impacts and overall character preservation despite minor window-related harm.
Environment Policy 34
Prefers traditional materials in maintenance/alteration/extension of pre-1920 buildings. Assessed alongside window circular; modern windows introduced harm but balanced against overall design acceptability and policy aims.
Environment Policy 42 - character and need to adhere to local distinctiveness
Addresses visual design and locality character, similar to SP3. Officer confirmed proposal's elements like bay reconstruction and extension removal align, with limited visibility mitigating 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.
Matching roof tiles
The tiles used on the roof of the reconstructed south-east corner bay window must match the existing roof tiles in colour and texture. Reason: To preserve the character of the dwellinghouse.
No objections
Proposal is not impacting upon the existing parking therefore would not impact the highway or network function
