The officer identified the main issue as the impact upon the character and appearance of the countryside, given the site's 'Not for Development' designation and policies like General Policy 3 and Envi…
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, landscaping, amenity, and highway safety. Officer found the garden room complies as its limited scale and design cause no significant adverse impacts on countryside character.
General Policy 3
Permits development only in zoned areas or stated exceptions, not including domestic outbuildings; presumption against in countryside. Proposal overcomes this due to no material harm from scale, siting and low visibility.
Environment Policy 1
Prevents development adversely affecting countryside unless overriding national need and no alternative. Assessed as no adverse effect from the ancillary outbuilding's modest size and enclosure, relating well to existing farm structures.
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.
Ancillary use only
The gardenroom / home gym hereby approved shall not be used other than in association with Cronk Moar Farm, as a gardenroom / home gym ancillary to the use of the dwellinghouse and for no other purpose. REASON: The impact of the proposal has been assessed solely in relation to the additional use as a gardenroom / home gym. Any alternative uses will require further consideration in the interest of the impact upon the countryside.
