General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except for specified exceptions; the site is not zoned but existing residential development prompted consideration of established use, with the extension assessed as not fitting exceptions directly but acceptable under GP2.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside from adverse development unless overriding need; officer noted designation but found no adverse countryside impact due to village context and design.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in AHLV; proposal would not harm character given scale, form, and location in built-up village frontage.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings if increasing public visual impact; extension deemed appropriate as it does not increase impact, being in keeping with property in established development line.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting site, scale, design, amenities, highways, etc.; proposal complied in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, neighbour amenity, and access.
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.
Ancillary use only

Reason: To ensure proper control of the development, to avoid any future undesirable fragmentation of the dwelling/curtilage and the proposal is not to create a separate unit of accommodation, which would be subject to different policies of the Strategic Plan.

The front raised terrace shall not be used until a 1.8m high obscure glazed screen has been erected along the eastern side of the terrace and retained thereafter. Reason: In the interest of neighbouring amenities.
No forward enclosures
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no fences, gates, walls or other means of enclosure shall be erected or placed within the curtilage of any dwelling house forward of any wall of that dwelling house which fronts onto a highway, without the prior written approval of the Department.
