Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions or alterations to existing traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form, and appearance, exceptionally allowing more than 50% added floorspace.

Officer noted it is 'worth bearing in mind' alongside HP15 and concluded amended proposal would comply, though specific requirements not detailed; assessed in context of overall acceptability for countryside location.
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.
