The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 (GP2), which requires developments to respect site surroundings in scale, form, design, landscaping, and not adversely affect landscape/towns…
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design, landscaping; does not harm landscape/townscape character, locality amenity, or sea views. Officer assessed the container's minor scale, position behind buildings, landscaping, and colouring as compliant, with no adverse visual or amenity effects due to screening.
Recreation Policy 2
Prohibits development harming open space/recreation facilities unless alternative provision or overall community gain with no significant effect. Minor open space loss accepted due to community gain from bowling green maintenance.
Time limit for removal
The metal storage container hereby approved shall be removed from the site and the land restored to its former condition within 5 years of the date of this Decision Notice. Reason: The development has only been found to be acceptable on a short term basis because it meets a specific need.
Landscaping scheme
No development shall take place until full details of soft/hard landscaping works have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department and these works shall be carried out as approved. Details of the soft/hard landscaping works include details of new planting/trellis to the north-eastern and north-western of the container showing, type, size and position of each. All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the shed, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which die or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species. Reason: To ensure the provision of an appropriate landscape setting to the development.
Materials - green colouring
The external walls, roof, doors, door frame on the metal storage container must be a dark green/olive green colour all being retained thereafter. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area.
