HP15

Housing Policy 15

HP15 governs extensions to traditionally styled properties in the countryside, requiring respect for proportion, form, and appearance, with extensions over 50% floorspace approved only exceptionally. The officer applied HP15 as the farmhouse is not wholly traditional per Circular 3/91 but not of poor form, assessing the 53% increase as marginally over but justified by symmetry benefits and prior approval, without detracting from character.
