The officer assessed whether the works would adversely impact the character and appearance of the countryside area, noting a presumption against development under Environment Policies 1 and 2 and Gene…
Environment Policy 1
Presumption against development in High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance areas. Officer noted this applies but proposal acceptable due to screening and no adverse character impact.
Environment Policy 2
Presumption against development in countryside. Assessed alongside GP3; garage exceeds permitted development size and is forward of house but complies due to design and limited visibility.
General Policy 3
No provision for domestic garages in countryside, but permitted development allows some; this exceeds limits requiring approval, deemed acceptable as it mirrors curtilage design.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional or poor form dwellings not permitted if increasing public impact. Extension replacing conservatory does not increase impact and matches proportion, form, and appearance of existing property.
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.

no objection provided the application does not involve creating vehicular access onto Cloudy Lane due to visibility concerns
Two responses received: neighbours (Mr & Mrs I. Kermode) have no objection subject to no new vehicular access onto Cloudy Lane; Michael Parish Commissioners have no objection.
Key concern: restricted visibility splays at Cloudy Lane entrance to A3 if new vehicular access created
Mr & Mrs I. Kermode
