Policy RD2 – Residential extensions and alterations

Planning permission will be granted for extensions or alterations to an existing residential property where the scale, massing, design and external materials of the proposal are appropriate to the built form and appearance of the existing property and will not detract from the character of an established residential area. This includes support for measures that enable people to stay within their own homes, such as physical adaptations and energy efficiency enhancements. Planning permission will be subject to proposals meeting all other policy requirements.
