General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in scale/form/design, not adversely affect Conservation Area character, and provide satisfactory amenity. Officer assessed demolition as compliant due to non-visible location and replacement improvement, with no adverse impacts noted.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character. Demolition deemed acceptable as rear structures not publicly visible, avoiding harm to area appearance.
Environmental Policy 39
Presumption in favour of retaining buildings positively contributing to Conservation Area. Existing rear extensions do not contribute due to private rear location; demolition not harmful.
CA/6 Demolition in Conservation Areas
Presumption against demolition of non-exception buildings in Conservation Areas, applying criteria like condition, repair costs, retention efforts, and replacement merits. Rear structures' invisibility outweighed presumption; replacement enhances rear.
RB/6 Demolition
Presumption against demolition unless condition, retention efforts, and replacement merits justified. Applied similar criteria; non-visible structures justified approval.
Time limit
