The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 and Housing Policy 16 due to the non-traditional L-shaped single-storey form of the house.
General Policy 2
Requires developments to respect the character of the site and its surroundings (b)(c) and protect amenities (g). The officer found the extensions match the house roofscape, are subordinate, and cause no amenity harm due to separation distances.
Housing Policy 16
States extensions to non-traditional dwellings will not generally be permitted if increasing public visual impact. The non-traditional L-shaped house's extensions are not publicly visible from the elevated site, so no increased impact.
Spatial Policy 5
Developments should only occur in defined settlements unless complying with GP3 exceptions. Assessed as countryside location but compliant via other policies as no countryside harm noted.
General Policy 3
Provides exceptions for countryside development. Proposal complies as it does not adversely affect countryside protection under linked ENV1.
Environment Policy 1
Prohibits development adversely affecting countryside 'for its own sake'. Site in countryside but extensions not visible publicly and no harm identified.
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.
