General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, not adversely affect townscape character or local amenities. Officer assessed flue's scale and location against this, finding it acceptable given the already compromised rear townscape with modern extensions and balconies.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Officer tested visual impact from beach, concluding no harm due to existing non-traditional rear features like flat roofs and dormers, which already compromise the rears' traditional mass and profile.
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.
