Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 allows alterations/extensions to residential properties in the countryside where they would not detract from the countryside, specifically not increasing the impact of non-traditional buildings as viewed by the public. The officer assessed the door installation as small in stature relative to the property, on an elevation with no public vantage points, resulting in minimal impact to character and appearance of the property and streetscene.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 sets general development control standards regarding amenity and highway safety (parts b, c, g, h and i). The substantial distance from neighbouring properties ensured no impact on amenity, and Highway Services confirmation of no interest addressed highway safety.
Environment Policy 1
Environment Policy 1 seeks to prevent development adversely affecting the site or other land except in exceptional circumstances. The officer noted the proposal's minimal visual impact in the rural context as compliant.
General Policy 3
General Policy 3 restricts development outside zoned areas except for stated exceptions, which do not include dwelling extensions. The site is not designated, but the officer applied Housing Policy 16 as overriding for minor residential alterations that do not increase countryside impact.
Spatial Policy 5
Strategic Policy 5 requires new development to make a positive contribution to the Island's environment. The minor alteration was deemed acceptable in form and design.
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.
