Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside (land outside settlements) from developments that adversely affect it unless overriding national need and no alternative. Officer assessed the heat pump has no significant visual impact as it is not visible from the highway and is modest in scale, thus not adversely affecting the countryside.
Environment Policy 22
Prohibits development unacceptably harming environment or amenities via noise, pollution etc. Officer found no unacceptable noise impact on neighbours due to 80m+ separation, intervening barn and landscaping; primarily affects applicant's own property.
Housing Policy 16
Generally does not permit extensions to non-traditional dwellings that increase public visual impact. Officer noted the proposal is modest and in keeping with the dwelling's character, with no adverse public amenity effects.
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.
