General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design/landscaping, not adversely affect surrounding character, and not harm local residents' amenity or locality character. Officer assessed the extension's design as tying in successfully with existing mass/form/detailing (extended mouldings, matching materials, arched glazing echoing existing windows), replacing poor flat-roofed additions in a screened location, thus meeting all criteria with no objection raised.
Community Policy 6
Permits extensions to health care facilities if no over-concentration, no unacceptable effect on residential/prevailing character/amenity, easily accessible, and no unacceptable highway impact. Officer tested each criterion: no over-concentration in residential area; no amenity/character harm due to screened site and small scale; accessibility retained (no parking/access loss); Highways no objection and low parking demand from elderly occupancy — principle thus acceptable.
