Policy states extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. Officer assessed the single storey extensions meet these criteria, being in keeping with the dwelling's character and not unduly impacting adjacent property.
Housing Policy 16
Policy states 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. Officer found the extensions do not increase visual impact due to the site's natural dip and screening from public view.
