General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning if it respects site/surroundings (siting, layout, scale, design, landscaping), does not harm character, provides safe access/adequate parking, and avoids adverse impacts on amenities or road safety. The officer tested the driveway extension against criteria (b), (c), (g), (h) and (i), finding minimal visual/amenity impact from wall/hedge loss and positive highway benefits tipped the balance in favour.
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.
