The officer determined that the proposed window would be visually in keeping with the main dwelling and out of general public view due to its rear position, resulting in no visual harm.
General Policy 2
GP2 (b, c, and g) requires development in residential areas to respect character, amenity, and good neighbour principles. The officer assessed the window's rear position as visually in keeping with no public view harm, and confirmed no overlooking due to garden outlook, distances, levels, and vegetation, fully satisfying the policy tests.
Residential Design Guide section 7.0
Section 7.0 covers good neighbourliness, particularly privacy and overlooking. The proposal was found compliant as the window's siting and site features mitigate inter-visibility, with no amenity impacts on neighbours.
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.
