General Policy 2
Requires development in zoned areas to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character, amenities, or highways.

Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Garage's mitigated visual impact (via painting) and Conservation Officer approval confirmed it preserves area character despite larger scale than predecessor.
Painting of garage
The timber garage must be painted a dark brown colour within 2 months of the date of the decision notice and be retained thereafter. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area in general.
