General Policy 2
Sets general standards for acceptable development, particularly for extensions and alterations to residential properties. Officer assessed the amended design against it, finding the minor footprint increase proportionate to the dwelling and no unacceptable amenity impacts, thus compliant.
Business Policy 13
Presumes in support of additional tourist accommodation use of private dwellings if no compromise to neighbour amenity. Applied to the dual ancillary/tourist use; officer confirmed no amenity harm from amendments, satisfying the policy.
Environment Policy 23
Addresses changes to neighbouring amenity from development. Terrace raise and staircase relocation assessed; distant/screened from neighbours, no significant overlooking or privacy loss.
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.
Use restriction - ancillary or tourist only
The proposed use hereby approved shall be used only for family and friends of those occupying the main dwelling as ancillary accommodation or as additional self contained tourist accommodation. The part of the building shall not be occupied as an independent dwelling unit. Reason: To ensure proper control of the development and to avoid any future undesirable fragmentation of the curtilage.
28-day occupancy limit
The additional tourist accommodation hereby approved shall not be occupied by the same person(s) for a single period or cumulative periods exceeding 28 days in any calendar year. Reason: To ensure that the development is only used and occupied as short let holiday accommodation and to prevent the creation of an unjustified separate dwelling in the countryside.
Approved floor area only
The use hereby approved relates only to the floor area as shown on drawing 05P Rev1 (floor plans as proposed) only. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.
