General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design (b), does not adversely affect townscape character (c), and protects resident amenities (g). The officer tested the sun room's single-storey scale, matching pitched roof, and subordinate appearance against these, finding modest visual changes from replacement and no amenity harm due to distance and screening, thus compliant.
Section 4.4 Extension to Side Elevation (RDG 2019)
Requires side extensions to respect dwelling's proportion/design, appear subordinate, use pitched roofs matching original pitch/shape, with ridge lower than main eaves, and proportionate height/width. The proposal's 4.5x4.3m sun room with matching pitched roof was assessed as proportionate to the two-storey dwelling, ensuring clear single/two-storey definition and acceptable in street scene.
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.
