General Policy 2
GP2 requires development to respect scale/character (b), protect visual amenities (c), and safeguard residential amenity including privacy (g).

Provides guidance on extensions, local distinctiveness (Section 2.2/4 including flat roofs), and good neighbourliness/privacy (Section 7).
