General Policy 2

GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design/landscaping (b), does not harm townscape character (c), avoids adverse amenity impacts (g), and provides safe access/parking (h). The officer tested the extensions/garage against these, finding them sympathetic in a large plot, no amenity harm due to screening/distances/design improvements, and adequate parking via turning bay; prior extensions approved. Partial public views screened by hedging complied, with concrete driveway acceptable per no highway objection.
