- The effect of varying condition 2, to allow amendments to the previously approved plans, on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The variation in building lines and roof lines across the development, combined with the minor nature of the amendment and lack of visual prominence from public views, would adequately break up massing and preserve character and appearance without the narrow gap previously required.
