General Policy 2
GP2 requires development to respect the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping (b); not adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape (c); and not adversely affect the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality (g).

Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
