General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with local plans if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not harm townscape character, neighbour amenity, or highway safety; and provides adequate access/parking. The officer assessed the rear extension's scale and design against the varied rear extensions of adjacent properties, confirming it would not be out of keeping or harmful. Roof lights and shop front changes were deemed minor and acceptable, with no adverse impacts on amenity or traffic.
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.
