The officer assessed the key consideration as the visual impact on the character and appearance of the site, wider street scene, and nearby Selbourne Drive Conservation Area.
General Policy 2
Requires development in residential zoning to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping, without adversely affecting character of townscape or amenity of residents. Officer assessed the rear garage's positioning behind stone wall, flat roof, and roller door as subordinate to the main dwelling, with minimal visual impact in the rear lane context featuring similar doors, and no amenity harm due to scale and boundaries.
Environment Policy 36
Permits development outside but close to Conservation Area boundaries only if no detrimental effect on important views into/out of the area. The garage was found not to impact views into adjacent Selbourne Drive Conservation Area due to its rear location behind walls and minimal visibility from the access lane.
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.
