General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), does not adversely affect townscape character (c), does not harm local amenity/locality character (g), and does not prejudice adjoining land development (k).

Reason: to accord with General Policy 2k.
