Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside from development unless overriding need; proposal accepted as replacement dwelling exception under GP3, not adversely affecting countryside ecology or character.

Housing Policy 12
Permits replacement unless abandoned or architecturally/historic and renovable; existing dwelling occupied within 10 years, but lacks original interest due to alterations, allowing replacement.
Housing Policy 14
Requires similar siting/size (not >50% larger), traditional design per Circular 3/91 or high-quality modern; proposal on similar footprint, 49% larger, traditional public elevations with acceptable contemporary rear, improving environmental impact.
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.
Tree protection fencing
No equipment, machinery or materials shall be brought onto the site for the purposes of the development until fencing has been erected in the location shown on the approved tree protection plan (drawing 5A), in accordance with the recommendations of Section 6.2.2 of British Standard 5837:2012. The fencing shall be maintained in position until the development is complete. Reason: To safeguard the areas to be landscaped and the existing trees and planting to be retained within the site.

Car parking and manoeuvring
Prior to the occupation of any dwelling the car parking and manoeuvring areas as shown on drawing 6 received on 31st March 2017 shall be provided and remain free from obstruction thereafter. Reason: To ensure that the strategic plan car parking standards are met in the interest of highway safety.
no opposition subject to conditions on access, visibility splays, car parking and manoeuvring
Highways Division does not oppose subject to two conditions on access and parking; Lezayre Parish Commissioners unanimously refuse due to aesthetic changes and increased height.
Key concern: replacement dwelling much taller (9.3m vs original 7.2m) due to dormer window and 200mm floor level increase, altering aesthetics
Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division
Conditional No ObjectionThe proposed car parking and access are acceptable and meet current standards.; Highway Services does not oppose this application subject to the following conditions
Conditions requested: Prior to any construction the access shown on Penketh Millar drawing no 16 1191 6 dated nov 16 shall be constructed and the visibility splays shall remain unobstructed at a height of 1.05m thereafter.; Prior to the occupation of any dwelling the car parking and manoeuvring areas shall be provided and remain free from obstruction thereafter.
Lezayre Parish Commissioners
ObjectionRefused Unanimous; The Commissioners feel that the addition of the dormer window changes the aesthetics of the overall look of the building, making it appear taller. We also note that the finished floor level will be increased by 200mm making this replacement dwelling much taller (9.3m) than the original building which was 7.2m high.
