The officer considered the proposal acceptable in principle within the residential zoning under the Area Plan for the East 2020.
General Policy 2
Requires development in zoned areas to respect siting, scale, amenities, road safety, flood risk, and other criteria without adverse impacts. The officer assessed the change of use against all listed tests (a-n), finding compliance due to no physical changes, neutral amenity and parking effects, and no objections from consultees.
Business Policy 13
Permits tourist accommodation in residential properties if neighbour amenities are not compromised. The officer directly applied this, concluding the use would have the same impact as residential occupation in a residential area with nearby properties.
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.
