General Policy 3
GP3 presumes against development on land not designated for development, such as Open Space, but includes exceptions for 'buildings or works required for interpretation of the countryside, its wildlife or heritage'. The officer assessed the WW2 shelter relocation as fitting this heritage exception due to its historical significance. The modest scale and corner location ensured no significant harm to open space character.
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.
