General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning provided it respects site surroundings (b), does not adversely affect character (c), provides satisfactory amenity and access/parking (h), does not harm road safety/traffic (i), and considers safety/security (m). The officer assessed the proposal against these criteria despite conflict with Primary School zoning, finding compliance due to no unacceptable impacts on visual amenity, highways, residential amenity, or safety. Precedent from PA 18/00811/C appeal highlighted change of use but was outweighed by lack of harm.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
