General Policy 3
Sets a general presumption against development in areas not designated on the Area Plan for the South 2013. The site is within such an area and St Marks Conservation Area, but policy was noted without detailed assessment against the proposal.
Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. The rear extension's size, design, and materials were found not to preserve or enhance the Area's linear hamlet character, failing the policy; garage was acceptable.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditionally styled properties only if respecting proportion, form, and appearance, normally not exceeding 50% of existing floor space. Garage extension respected this with negligible impact; rear extension failed due to overbearing size, flat roof style, and materials harming historic form.
