Environment Policy 4
Requires developments involving solar panels to be judged against the Plan's environmental objectives and policies, with no lower test despite renewable benefits. The officer applied this alongside other policies, confirming the proposal meets scrutiny standards. No EIA needed as it is solar, not wind/water/tide.
General Policy 2
Assesses environmental impacts including townscape character (c), resident amenity and locality character (g), and design for energy reduction (n). Proposal passes as visual impact is minimal due to parapet and positioning, with no amenity harm, and promotes energy best practice.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
