General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in zoned areas if it respects siting, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect amenity, character, or road safety. Officer tested against criteria (b), (g), (h): modest roof raise matches existing pitched form/materials, subordinate scale avoids harm to neighbours or streetscene unlike prior refusals; para 8.12.1 presumption favours extensions without adverse impacts in built-up areas.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Obscure glazing
The proposed window in the south-west elevation shall be glazed with obscure glass to Pilkington Level 5 or equivalent and permanently retained as such. Reason: To safeguard the amenities of adjoining occupiers from overlooking and loss of privacy.
