General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning provided it respects the site and surroundings in terms of scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character, amenities, road safety or views; and meets other listed criteria. The officer assessed the replacement balustrades, which match the existing design with only a 0.2m height increase for Building Regulations compliance, finding no adverse effects on the character of the 1970s apartment block or surrounding area, thus fully complying with all relevant tests including amenity and townscape impacts.
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.
