General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), not adversely affect surrounding character (c), and not harm local residents' amenities (g). Officer found no external changes means neutral impact on streetscene/Conservation Area and no greater amenity harm than existing/family use, fully satisfying these tests.

Within Conservation Areas, only permits development preserving/enhancing character and protecting special features. No external works proposed, so neutral impact deemed to preserve character.
Business Policy 13
Generally permits tourist use of private residential properties if no compromise to neighbouring amenities. Small scale, no objections, and site separation mean no adverse impact beyond existing use.
Time limit
