General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and other policies provided it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping (b), does not adversely affect townscape character (c), and does not harm residential amenity (g). The officer assessed the side extension against these tests, finding it subordinate due to its position behind the front elevation and pitched roof design tying to the host dwelling, with no adverse impacts on street scene or neighbours. DEFA Residential Design Guidance Section 4.4 on side extensions was also considered, emphasising proportion and subordination.
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.
Materials approval
All external facing and front elevation roofing materials to be used shall match those of the existing building in respect of type, bond, pointing, coursing, jointing, profile and texture, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Department. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area.
