The officer assessed whether the extensions were appropriate to the existing building and would preserve or enhance the St Mark's Conservation Area character.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in scale, form, design; not harm landscape/townscape character, amenity, or highways. Officer confirmed compliance as extensions match existing proportions, screened from views, no adverse amenity/traffic impact, using topography and maintaining rural character.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to countryside traditional properties if respecting proportion/form/appearance, exceptionally over 50% floorspace. Scale assessed below 50% limit; form subordinates new elements to stone wings, retaining dominant traditional features.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character. Proposals preserve character via screening, peripheral location, no enclosure of open spaces, and precedent for contemporary extensions; aligns with Character Appraisal emphasis on modest scale and rural glimpses.
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.
Materials approval
The materials to be used in the construction of the development hereby permitted shall accord with the details contained on approved drawing P 004 Proposed Elevations. Reason: To ensure the development has an acceptable impact upon the character and appearance of the area.
