  • The proposal should not exceed the height of the existing buildings;
  • The proposal should not lead to a major increase in the developed proportion of the site;
  • The proposal should be brought forward in the context of a master planning brief for the site as defined in paragraph 15.15;
  • Any new development must be acceptable in terms of its impact on the highway network, including highway safety.
