Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside for its own sake and character. The site is in an area of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance with presumption against development, but the conversion was deemed acceptable due to minimal visibility and no adverse landscape impact.
Environment Policy 2
Protects countryside character and appearance as paramount considerations. Proposal screened by topography and trees, over 200m from highway, not visible publicly, allowing compliance despite creating additional dwelling.
General Policy 3
Supports countryside protection. Applied alongside ENV policies but outweighed by HP11 for this internal conversion.
Housing Policy 11
Permits conversion of redundant rural buildings of historic, architectural or social interest without significant adverse change to appearance/character. The attached rear barn-like section qualifies, despite modern extensions, justifying approval as conversion not new build.
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.
