Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside and ecology outside settlements or development areas; development not permitted unless overriding national need and no alternative. Officer assessed the canopy would not adversely affect the countryside given its minor scale and subservient design.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value (AHLV); development permitted if it does not harm landscape character or location is essential. Site in AHLV; canopy's matching slate finish and 0.7m projection deemed not to harm landscape quality.
Housing Policy 15
Extensions/alterations to traditional countryside properties approved if respecting proportion, form, appearance; normally only if under 50% added floor space. Canopy respects existing property as it adds no floor area; prior changes already altered facade, making further minor alteration acceptable.
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.
