General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; not adversely affect townscape character or resident amenity. Officer assessed the extension's single-storey scale, parapet flat roof design matching existing, and separation from neighbours (no properties west, none within 20m NW/NE), finding full compliance with no adverse impacts.
Type A: Uplands
Considers neighbour amenity impacts like loss of light/overbearing, regulated by depth/projection; notes concerns for terraced/semi-detached but less for detached; unlikely support beyond 3m projection. Applied to detached site with no close neighbours, confirming no overbearing or overlooking.
Residential Design Guidance 5 (Architectural Details)
Key considerations for architectural details like windows and finishes to fit street scene and building. Elevations match existing, bi-fold doors and lantern lights deemed appropriate.
Residential Design Guidance 7 (Impact on Neighbouring Properties)
Addresses neighbour impacts: loss of light/overshadowing, overbearing, overlooking/privacy loss. No issues due to no neighbouring properties nearby and separation distances.
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.
