General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, landscaping; does not harm landscape/townscape character, residential amenity, road safety, or public views; incorporates existing features like trees; and provides safe access. The officer judged the proposal compliant as the dwelling fits comfortably in the large treed site without adverse impacts on amenity, character, highways, or views.
