General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects the site/surroundings in scale/form/siting, does not adversely affect neighbour amenity (g), and meets other tests like highways and visual impact. The officer found the proposal acceptable visually and for highways but failed GP2(g) due to overbearing impact, loss of light and overshadowing on No.15 from boundary siting, 4.5m projection along boundary and scale.

Do Not Oppose
no objection in principle subject to no discharge of surface water to foul drainage system(s)
