Environment Policy 1
Presumption against new works in undesignated countryside that adversely affect character and appearance. Rear location not publicly viewable and appropriate design ensured no adverse effect on countryside protected for its own sake.

Similar to EP1, protecting countryside character. Proposal complies as it does not harm the existing converted barn or area character due to enclosure and suitable scale/design.
General Policy 3
Presumption against new works in areas not designated for development. Overcome by site's approved residential status and lack of adverse impacts.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
