The officer considered the key issue to be the visual impact of the extension on the existing building, the wider site, and the local countryside character in an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Valu…
General Policy 3
GP3 permits development outside zoned areas on previously developed land with significant buildings where redevelopment reduces landscape impact and improves the environment, or for essential agriculture/forestry operations. The officer found the extension acceptable in principle due to the current level of building on the site and its necessity for agricultural storage/maintenance, with no increase in height.
Environment Policy 1
ENV1 protects countryside outside settlements unless overriding national need outweighs protection and no alternative exists. The extension was assessed as not adversely affecting the countryside, given its integration and limited visibility.
Environment Policy 2
ENV2 prioritises landscape character protection in Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value unless no harm or location is essential. The officer judged the proposal would not harm character/quality due to matching scale, finishes, and subordinate positioning.
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.
Use restriction
The structure hereby approved may be used only for the storage of vehicles and items in association with the maintenance of the site defined in the application. Reason: to reflect the proposed use of the building.
