General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character; and does not adversely affect amenity of residents or locality.

Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
