General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), protects local residents' amenity and locality character (g), avoids unacceptable road safety/traffic effects (i), and does not prejudice adjoining land (k). The officer tested the raised patio and patio doors against these, finding minor scale, screening from public views, separation from neighbours, no amenity harm, and no highway issues, thus compliant overall.
Environment Policy 22
ENV22 prohibits development unacceptably harming amenity via vibration/odour/noise/light pollution (iii). The officer referenced it but found no such issues raised or evident, with the proposal acceptable in neighbour amenity terms.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
