General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and Area Plan if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character, residential amenity, or road safety. Officer assessed the minor rendering works as low impact on street scene and public amenity, compliant with these tests in a residential zoned Conservation Area.
Environment Policy 35
ENV35 permits only development in Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances character/appearance and protects special features. Officer found chimney stacks not defining features of the Conservation Area, so rendering repairs do not unacceptably harm character or appearance.
