General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning if it meets criteria on siting, scale, design, amenity, highways, landscape, wildlife, and services (a-n). The officer tested the modular building's footprint (22x9.5m), height (3m), materials (red cedar and plastisol), location alongside car park, and replacement of existing units against all criteria, finding full compliance with no adverse effects. Its hidden position from public view and ancillary welfare role for nursery staff resolved any potential amenity or character concerns.
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.
