The officer considered the key issues to be visual impacts on the character and appearance of the existing traditional dwelling, public views, and countryside amenities.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design, landscaping, amenity of residents, locality character, and highway safety. The officer found the small extension compliant as it is subordinate, matches materials, and causes no amenity or highways issues.
Housing Policy 15
Extensions to traditional countryside properties must respect proportion, form, and appearance; only exceptionally exceed 50% of existing floorspace. The 8 sqm extension was assessed as small-scale, in keeping, and not dominating the host property, well within the floorspace limit.
Environment Policy 1
Seeks to prevent adverse site effects; extensions should generally be on the footprint and not more than 50% greater floor area than original building. The officer implied compliance through overall countryside assessment, noting no detriment.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
