Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 states that 'The extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public.' The officer tested the first floor extensions over existing terraces, noting no outwards spread, no increase in ridge height beyond existing two-storey parts, and the 200m setback from the road minimising visibility. The assessment concluded no significant change to building mass or public visual impact, satisfying the policy.

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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
