General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site and surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not harm amenity, character, highways, or ecology; and meets other criteria like access and services. The officer assessed the modest rear re-roofing as having no significant amenity impacts, limited visibility from street, and being more in keeping, thus complying overall.
