- Materials - Matching The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces (including walls, roof & windows) of the development hereby permitted shall match those used in the existing building or shall be in accordance with details which have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason: To ensure the use of appropriate materials in the interests of the visual amenities of the area having regard for Policies DC1, CS4 and CS5 of the Local Plan and section 12 of the NPPF.
- Main dwelling side roof light – Fixed and Non opening Notwithstanding the submitted details, the roof light on the side elevation of the main property shall be fixed and non-opening unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Reason : To ensure a satisfactory form of development in the interests of the amenities of residents having regard for Policies DC1, CS5 of the Local Plan and section 12 of the NPPF.
- Main dwelling roof lights - Size and Position The roof lights within the main dwelling shall be installed in the same location and the same size as on the approved plans, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory form of development in the interests of the amenities of residents having regard for Policies DC1, CS5 of the Local Plan and section 12 of the NPPF.
- Reason for approval The application is satisfactory in that the design and appearance of the proposed single storey rear extension and the roof lights within the existing main dwelling accord with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and, where appropriate, the Council has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive way in line with paragraph 38 of the NPPF (2024). In addition, the proposed single storey rear extension and roof lights within the existing main dwelling accord with the local policy requirements (Policy CS4 and CS5 & DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular, the proposed single rear extension and the roof lights within the existing main dwelling have been designed so that their appearance is complementary to the existing dwelling and will not have a detrimental impact on the appearance of the existing building or wider street scene. The design and location of the proposal is considered not to result in a detrimental impact on the amenity of the nearby residential properties or on highway safety. The application is therefore considered to be acceptable, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which indicate that the application should be refused.
