ENV1 protects countryside ecology unless overridden by national need with no alternative. The officer assessed that the screened extensions would not adversely affect the countryside due to landscaping and limited visibility.
Housing Policy 15
HP15 approves extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties that respect proportion, form and appearance, only exceptionally over 50% floorspace. The 23% increase was found acceptable in scale, design and finishes, matching works on the adjacent farm cottage.
