General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character or residential amenity. The officer tested the extension's scale, form, cedar cladding, and lower ground floor siting against the mixed property character in the hamlet, finding minimal streetscene impact. Balcony amenity effects on the neighbour were mitigated by condition, satisfying policy g on amenity.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Privacy screen details and installation
Prior to the creation of the proposed extension and balcony hereby approved, details of the appearance and materials of the privacy screen to a height of 1.8m must be approved in writing by the Department and prior to the use of the balcony area as hereby approved, the privacy screen must be in place and retained as such thereafter. Reason: to ensure the living conditions of those in "Shanti Ne Ketan" are not adversely affected by the proposed development.
