General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; not harm landscape/townscape character, amenities, or road safety. Officer assessed the extension's modest scale, matching materials, flat roof, and tucked position as causing no adverse visual or amenity impact, screened from neighbours.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape Value; development permitted if no harm to landscape character. Site in countryside; officer found single storey replacement causes no harm due to subservient scale and integration with existing features.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside dwellings if respecting form/proportion; exceptional approval only if >50% original floorspace. Extension well below 50% limit, matches traditional render, no prior extensions; complies fully.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings if increasing visual impact. Dwelling is traditional; extension replaces existing, uses matching materials, minimal change; no increased impact.
Environment Policy 22
Prohibits development harming amenity via noise/light etc. Single storey extension screened from neighbours at sufficient distance; no nuisance from light spill or noise anticipated.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
