The officer considered the proposal acceptable on two main grounds: the works are not readily visible from the surrounding area and would not adversely affect the visual amenities of the locality, and the development would be positioned 8 metres from the River Glass, addressing any concern about proximity to the watercourse. The decision was made by the Acting Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority and was subject to two conditions. The formal decision record lists 2 conditions.
