Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act (1999)
Requires that development in Conservation Areas preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the area. The officer tested the garage replacement against this, noting its location in a visible side lane but concluding minimal impact due to screening by an ongoing house extension, thus passing the test by preserving the area.
Environment Policy 35
Sets out that development in Conservation Areas will only be permitted where it preserves or enhances the character and appearance. Assessed alongside Section 18(4); the proposal's form, mass, and design were found acceptable as a residential garage with no noticeable change to the Conservation Area.
General Policy 2
Concerns character and appearance (specifically b,c). The officer considered impacts on the surrounding area and streetscene, deeming the slightly larger garage unlikely to affect the main dwelling or overall character, seen as compatible with residential use.
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.
