Environment Policy 32
Requires that extensions or alterations to a Registered Building do not detrimentally affect its special architectural or historic interest. The officer found the bay replacement would harm this by enlarging a non-original feature without justification, failing the test despite minor scale.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development in Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances character. Assessed against the harbourside terrace's clean lines and special setting; taller bay deemed not to preserve or enhance, drawing on precedents of refused rooflights.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
