Environment Policy 32
Protects character of Registered Buildings and Conservation Areas. Officer found proposal's modern plant, railings and wall raise failed to respect this, being highly visible and out of keeping in sensitive rear location.
Environment Policy 35
Relates to Conservation Areas. Alterations deemed detrimental to area character, especially historic boundary wall noted as integral feature.
Policy CA12 in Planning Policy Statement 1/01
PPS 1/01 policy for proposals in Conservation Areas. Rear view open, condensers/railings prominent against building; design did not consider character.
Policy RB15 in Planning Policy Statement 1/01
PPS 1/01 policy for Registered Building changes. Installation not sympathetic, location and guard rails disregarded building's historic character.
no objection, recommend conditions on electricity supply/working practices (not material planning considerations)
