The officer assessed whether the proposal preserves or enhances the Conservation Area character and whether relocating the police station creates additional parking demand.
Environment Policy 35

The officer tested the two-storey extension's visual impact, finding additional mass and features acceptable on the modern building without significantly changing its appearance in the older streetscene.
