The officer assessed the main issues as potential impacts upon the character and appearance of the countryside and the individual property.
Environment Policy 1
ENV1 protects the countryside (land outside settlements or non-designated areas) for its own sake, permitting development only if there is overriding national need with no alternative. The officer assessed the external works' impact on countryside character and found them acceptable, as the changes improve the appearance without adverse effects.
Housing Policy 15
HP15 allows extension or alteration of traditionally styled countryside properties if they respect proportion, form, and appearance, with extensions over 50% floor space only exceptionally. The proposal to upgrade existing storage into living accommodation via French doors and re-roofing was tested against this, and the officer confirmed compliance due to the works respecting the existing property.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
