Decision & Reasoning

Approved7 September 2016

The key issue was whether the physical increase in size (adding 4.6m width and 610mm height) would increase visual impact to the detriment of the countryside, as in the refused PA 12/00109/B.

Policies Assessed (2)

ENV1

Environment Policy 1

Requires protection of countryside character and quality. Previous refusal of PA 12/00109/B cited breach due to unacceptable intrusion. Officer assessed current proposal differently due to limited visibility and no use intensification.

ENV2

Environment Policy 2

Protects countryside amenities. Cited in prior refusal for visual harm and business intensification. Officer found no significant change in use or unacceptable visual impact from this extension.

Conditions (2)

1
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.
2
Use restriction
The building, including the extension, may be used only as an agricultural machinery dealership and associated workshop. Reason: to accord with the lawful use of the site.
