The officer tested the rear bi-fold doors against character/appearance (b,c) and neighbouring amenity (g), finding minimal visual impact due to the non-prominent rear location and no additional amenity harm from replacing existing features.
Residential Design Guide 2021
Provides guidance on good neighbourliness and overlooking for residential alterations. The officer considered it alongside GP2, confirming the proposal's acceptability in design and lack of amenity impact.
Community Policy 7
Addresses reducing outbreak of fire. The officer noted the alteration to an existing dwelling does not create new fire spread issues.
Community Policy 11
Concerns preventing criminal activity. No new issues raised as it is an alteration to an existing dwelling.
Infrastructure Policy 5
Relates to water conservation. The proposal does not increase water usage.
Environment Policy 10 - Development and flood risk
Addresses flood risk. The Flood Risk Viewer shows the site partly in a flood zone, but the specific alteration location is unaffected, so no further assessment required.
