The site is within countryside designated as woodland and high landscape or coastal value, where policy presumes against new development, but allows related uses for existing rural dwellings.
General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except for specific countryside exceptions including replacement of rural dwellings and essential agricultural buildings. Officer applied exception via established residential curtilage of approved replacement dwelling, treating ancillary garaging as reasonable related development despite no explicit policy for detached new builds.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside and ecology unless overriding national need. Proposal accepted as it would not adversely affect countryside due to minimal landscape impact and position within curtilage.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character in AHLV areas unless no harm or essential location. Development would not harm character as proposed building similar in height/design to existing, slightly more visible roof but sympathetic and less conspicuous than permitted development alternative.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
