GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping, does not adversely affect townscape character, incorporates existing landscape features like trees, does not harm local amenities or character, and avoids unacceptable road safety/traffic effects.
