Environment Policy 35
Policy requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. Officer found the low-profile extension with matching finishes and traditional windows preserves area character without harm to Victorian features, in a diverse streetscape where the existing non-conforming workshop is unusual.

No external storage
There shall be no external storage of goods or the display of articles for sale on the site edged red on plan 35524.06 dated 28 July 2016. Reason: To ensure that the proposed development will not prejudice the general appearance of the locality and in the interests of highway safety.
