General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; not harm landscape/townscape, amenity, road safety; and enhance Conservation Areas. Officer assessed extension's scale against single-storey dwelling and streetscene, confirming no ridge line breach, setback from road, and amenity protection via roof lights, overcoming prior refusal.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character. Officer judged replacement of poor-form metal shed with appropriate extension improves visual terms, not prominent in streetscene, thus enhancing Kirk Michael Conservation Area.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
