The officer considered the chimney stacks significant in size and essential for providing rhythm to the terrace, acting as an 'end stop' on the end-of-terrace property.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect the site and surroundings in terms of scale, form, design and not adversely affect townscape character. The officer assessed the chimney removal as failing this by harming the terrace rhythm and conservation area townscape.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development in Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances character and protects special features. The stack was deemed a special feature contributing to terrace rhythm; its loss was an inappropriate development with adverse impact.
