General Policy 2
Requires development not to adversely affect character of landscape/townscape or amenity of residents/locality. Officer assessed the panel's low visibility due to 15m setback from highway and parallel roof installation, finding no significant harm to street scene or character.
Environment Policy 4
Supports alternative energy including solar panels, judged against environmental objectives (no EIA needed for solar). Officer balanced minor visual impact against environmental benefits of renewable hot water heating, finding it acceptable.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
