General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except for specified exceptions like previously developed land where redevelopment reduces landscape impact. Site is previously developed with existing outbuildings; officer assessed replacement as improving over dilapidated shed on redundant curtilage, justifying departure.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside from adverse development unless overriding need and no alternative. Officer found proposal acceptable as smaller building screened by landscaping represents visual improvement over existing shed, with no overriding need required due to curtilage location and limited visibility.
Environment Policy 3
Prevents unacceptable loss/damage to woodland. No Forestry comments raised; building set away from boundary trees, so no impact 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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

Reason: The dwelling is within a single residential plot in an area not designated for development/additional housing. The application does not propose to create separate units of accommodation within the site and the application has been judged on the basis of the unit being used as ancillary/incidental accommodation and not as a separate dwelling.
Colour scheme
The building hereby approved shall be painted/finished in a dark brown (including timber having a natural finish or stained) or dark green colour and retained thereafter. Reason: in the interest of the visual appearance of the area.
