General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character, local amenities, or road safety.

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.
