The officer assessed the proposal against Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999, requiring works in a Conservation Area to preserve or enhance its character and appearance.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 is one of the key policies cited in the conclusion for compliance. The officer did not provide detailed assessment specific to GP2 but grouped it with Section 18(4) and ENV35 as satisfied overall due to no harmful impact on conservation area or amenity.
Environment Policy 35
ENV35, alongside paragraph 7.29.2, sets out that development in Conservation Areas will only be permitted where they preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the area. Tested via Section 18(4): proposal passes as chimneys on non-meritorious 1950s building do not contribute to streetscene or area character; removal preserves rather than harms.
