General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning and Area Plan if it respects site/surroundings (siting, scale, design, amenity), does not harm character, provides satisfactory standards including access/parking, and avoids adverse impacts on residents or road safety. Officer tested the extension's siting (4.8m forward, 3.9m to road), scale in tight group of dwellings, privacy impact on neighbour (found minimal as visibility pre-exists), and character (fits urban streetscene). No tensions noted; all criteria met.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved drawings
This permission relates to the extension of the dwelling as shown in drawings AT 1024.1, AT 1024.2 and the location plan all received on 14th December, 2009.

Dickinson Cruickshank
ObjectionThe loss of privacy is the issue not the loss of a private view.; This is clearly of detriment of the amenity of privacy currently enjoyed by Hill Side.
