General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect character, amenity, highway safety or traffic flows; and provides safe access. The officer tested the proposal against street scene impact (minimal change) and highway safety (beneficial widening, no objections), finding full compliance with no tensions noted.
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.
