General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning and other policies if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design, does not adversely affect amenity/character/road safety/wildlife/views/services, and meets other criteria (a-n). The officer assessed the rear extension against amenity (neighbours), character (dwelling and area), design/scale, and found full compliance as no overbearing impact, appropriate design, minimal visual effect. Paragraph 8.12.1 adds presumption in favour of extensions in built-up areas without adverse impacts on neighbours/area, which tipped the balance positively.
