General Policy 2
GP2 permits development that respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design and does not adversely affect the character of the locality or amenity of residents. The officer assessed the roof lights as having a neutral impact due to their position in a non-original extension not visible from streets and no overlooking issues, thus complying with criteria b, c, and g.
Environment Policy 35
ENV35 permits only development within Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the area, protecting special features. The proposal was found to have a neutral impact on the conservation area as the roof lights are not visible from public streets and are in a non-original part of the building.
