The officer identified the principal issue as the impact on the surrounding townscape due to the proposed flat, smooth profile tiles differing from the existing and neighbouring ribbed profile tiles.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning provided it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design (b); does not adversely affect surrounding townscape character (c); and does not adversely affect local residents' amenity or locality character (g). The officer tested the roof tile change against these criteria, focusing on townscape impact from the profile difference, and found no adverse effect as the new tiles were not inappropriate.
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.
