The officer assessed the proposal against policies protecting countryside (EP1, GP3) and guiding rural extensions (Housing Policy 16), concluding it complies with General Policy 2 (GP2) as it respects…
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design, landscaping; not adversely affect landscape character, amenities, habitats, views, traffic, or flooding risk. Officer found proposal complies fully, as extensions are appropriate in scale/design, screened from view, no amenity/landscape harm, and site not in flood zone despite wider area risks.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional/poor form rural dwellings where they would increase public visual impact; prefers redevelopment for traditional style. Officer noted dwelling's non-traditional status but extensions do not increase impact, improve appearance via orangery/porch/cladding, and scale under 50% footprint, aligning with para 8.12.2 guidance.
Environment Policy 1
Presumes against countryside development unless overriding need and no alternative, protecting ecology/landscape. Existing dwelling allows extensions under HP16; proposal causes no adverse countryside effects due to screening and limited visibility.
General Policy 3
Presumption against development on unzoned land where countryside protection paramount. Mitigated by existing dwelling and compliant householder extensions.
