The officer considered the proposal against General Policy 2, Environmental Policy 35, and Transport Policy 7, focusing on Conservation Area impact, residential amenity, access/parking, and affordable…
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, provide satisfactory amenity including parking/access, and not adversely affect amenity or highways. Officer assessed internal changes (apartment combination, parking reallocation) as providing adequate amenity and surplus parking (30 vs 23 needed), with safe access, thus compliant particularly with part (h).
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. External works (balconies at rear/not prominent, slate replacing conservatory, flush rooflights matching approvals) deemed minimal impact, not detracting from form/character; Conservation Officer concurred.
Transport Policy 7
Requires parking per current standards. Proposal provides 1 space per 1/2-bed apt, 2 per 3+-bed (23 needed, 30 provided), allocated and retained; Highways Division did not oppose subject to condition.
