General Policy 2
Requires consideration of general development factors including design, visual impact, and amenity. The officer found the extension compliant with parts (b), (c) on visual impact, and (g) on amenity, as it represents good design, is not overdominant or intrusive, and has no neighbour amenity impacts due to scale, siting, and location away from adjacent uses.
