The officer noted the shed is not large and is attractively styled, providing a clear benefit for Hospice residents through therapeutic gardening and craft activities.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan requires development to be appropriate in form and function. The officer assessed the small, attractively styled timber shed as compliant due to its therapeutic purpose for hospice residents, minimal size, and lack of public visibility in the semi-rural context. No tensions were noted, as it aligned with the site's DHSS zoning despite not qualifying as permitted development.
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.
