The key issue was the impact on the character and street scene of the area. The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 (GP2) criteria, including that the development respects the site …
General Policy 2
GP2 provides guidance for development in accordance with land use zoning, with criteria including respecting site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, and landscaping (b); no adverse effect on surrounding character (c); and no adverse impact on resident amenity or locality character (g). The officer assessed the lightweight replacement walkway, noting it is not publicly visible, so it respects the site without adversely affecting character or amenity. The site is zoned UCM, supporting the development.
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.
