General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), not adversely affect townscape character (c), not impact resident amenity/locality character (g), and not affect highway safety (i). Officer assessed the rear extension's 3.84m depth, shallow mono-pitch roof, matching render, and confined views as compliant, improving on poor existing structures without adverse visual or amenity impacts.
Environment Policy 32
Prohibits extensions/alterations detrimentally affecting a Registered Building's special architectural/historic interest.

Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Officer determined the rear extension preserves area character due to its position not visible publicly, appropriate form matching host dwelling, and use of sympathetic materials like painted render and metal standing seam roof.
