General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not harm landscape/townscape character, residential amenity, road safety or views. The officer tested the balustrade replacement against character (replicates existing, modest height increase), amenity (no significant public/private impacts) and zoning (predominantly residential). No tensions noted as proposal deemed fully compliant given building's age and existing modifications.
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.
