Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside (land outside settlements not designated for development) unless overriding national need and no alternative. Officer noted site in open countryside but as extension to existing traditional dwelling, it does not adversely affect countryside per assessment of visual impact.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside properties only if respecting proportion, form, and appearance; exceptionally over 50% floorspace. Proposal at 17% increase assessed as compliant due to subordinate scale, modest pitched/flat roofs, and materials providing subtle old/new distinction without harming traditional 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.
