Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form and appearance, with exceptions over 50% floorspace increase only granted exceptionally. Officer assessed the proposal's sympathy to remaining traditional features (barn/original house) despite contemporary style, finding it compliant given the mixed existing character and removal of poor elements.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional or poor form dwellings where they would increase public visual impact. Assessed as compliant because extensions do not increase the dwelling's public impact due to screening, setback and no mass increase; modern elements may unify the disparate styles.
Area Plan for the South - Ballamodha, Earystane and St Marks
Seeks to conserve rural character, protect tranquility/open views, sensitively site new buildings with screen planting, avoid housing amalgamation and protect Ballabeg's identity. Proposal contained within curtilage, not visible publicly due to vegetation/130m setback, no open view loss or character change.
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.
