General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning provided it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design, does not harm townscape character, protects residential amenity, provides safe highway access without unacceptable road safety effects, and meets other listed criteria. Officer tested the prominent corner extension against design/scale (successful bay window echoing neighbours), townscape (not out of keeping unlike prior refusal), amenity of No.5 Albert Road (no significant overbearing/light loss due to setback/design), and highways (visibility splays protected by existing wall/footpath). No tension noted; proposal found compliant overall.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
