The main issue considered was the impact of removing the four redundant chimney stacks on the character and appearance of the building and area.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and Area Plan proposals if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design (b); does not adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape (c); and does not adversely affect the amenity of local residents or character of the locality (g). The officer assessed the chimney removal against these tests, finding no adverse impact on character or appearance given the building's lack of architectural interest and the redundant nature of the stacks. The site is in a 'Predominantly Residential' zone per the Area Plan for the South 2013.
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.
