The main issue was the impact of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the countryside/landscape and the individual property.
Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of the countryside (land outside settlements or not designated for development) unless there is overriding national need with no alternative. The officer assessed the proposal would not adversely affect the countryside, as the well-screened summerhouse roof change causes no harm.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value (AHLV) unless development does not harm landscape character/quality or location is essential. Site is in AHLV; officer found the grey slate cladding more in keeping, not creating a stark feature due to screening, thus no harm to landscape character.
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.
