Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside from developments that adversely affect it unless overriding national need exists. The officer assessed the rear extension would not be publicly visible and would not adversely affect the countryside due to its subordinate nature and replacement of existing structures.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises protection of High Landscape or Coastal Value areas (AHLVs) unless development does not harm character/quality or location is essential. The site is in an AHLV; officer found no harm to landscape character as extension is screened and subordinate to the main traditional dwelling.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside properties only if they respect proportion, form, and appearance, and exceptionally if not exceeding 50% floor space increase. The 10.7% increase was well below the threshold, and the design matches the existing farmhouse's traditional form, scale, and finishes.
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.
