The officer assessed whether the window changes would harm the character of the proposed Conservation Area, where development must not prejudice future designation.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site surroundings in scale, form, design (2b); not adversely affect townscape character (2c); and not harm locality amenity (2g). Officer tested ground floor fenestration changes against these, finding vertical alignment with upper windows and residential mimicry acceptable in proposed CA, avoiding prejudice to future designation despite UPVC material.
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.
