General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning provided it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping; does not adversely affect landscape character, wildlife habitats, resident amenities, road safety or traffic flows; and incorporates topography and safety features. The officer assessed the substation against these tests, finding the modest scale and screened location acceptable with very slight visual impact alongside larger existing buildings, fully complying within the sewage works zoning in a High Landscape Value area.
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.
