The critical issue was the impact on the streetscene, where the planning department generally expects retention of 50% of existing garden space for new hardstanding to protect visual amenities.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and area plans if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, design; does not adversely affect character of locality or streetscene; provides safe highway access and parking; and does not harm amenity of residents. The officer assessed the hardstanding against these tests, finding it acceptable for streetscene despite exceeding 50% garden loss guidance, due to parking necessity, highway benefits, and retention of planted areas.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
