General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; avoids adverse amenity, character, highway, or ecological impacts; and provides satisfactory standards.

Paragraph 8.12.1 presumes favourably for extensions in built-up areas without adverse impacts, which this met post-amendments.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved drawings
