Requires that within Conservation Areas, development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the area, protecting special features. The officer assessed the rear lean-to's visual impact, finding its small scale and matching paint acceptable despite timber being slightly incongruous, with limited views justifying approval.
General Policy 2
Permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, and does not adversely affect townscape character. The officer confirmed the proposal complies, given its rear location, small size, and blending with the varied building.
