General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or local amenity. Officer assessed the roof lights as compliant due to minimal visual impact from rear location not visible publicly.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Roof lights accepted as they do not harm the Area given rear elevation's reduced character and lack of public visibility.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
