The site is within a Conservation Area, so Environment Policy 35 was the key consideration, requiring development to preserve or enhance the character and protect special features.
Environment Policy 35
The policy requires that within Conservation Areas, only development which preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Area will be permitted, protecting special features. The officer assessed the rear window proposal against this, noting after Conservation Officer consultation that it has minimal impact, is not publicly visible, and thus preserves the area's character.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
