General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and not adversely affect townscape character.

Environment Policy 35
Permits only development which preserves or enhances Conservation Area character and protects special features. The proposal failed as removal of the wall and railings, a 'distinctive' and 'historic' feature, would harm rather than preserve or enhance the Windsor Road Conservation Area's appearance.
