The officer considered the impacts of chimney removal on the existing building appearance and visual effects on the surrounding area.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 requires development to respect the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design (b), not adversely affect the character of the surrounding townscape (c), and not affect adversely the character of the locality (g). The officer assessed the chimney removal against these, finding it would harm the uniform terrace character, street scene, and locality appearance despite no Conservation Area or Registered Building status.
