Housing Policy 15
Supports extensions to traditionally styled countryside dwellings that respect proportion, form, and appearance. The officer found the modest scale, rectangular footprint, matching render, and subordinate positioning compliant, despite flat roof, ensuring visual coherence with the host farmhouse.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape Value unless specific exceptions met. The extension's low height, contextual materials, and screening by woodland and barn ensured no harm to rural landscape quality or visual amenity.
General Policy 2
General development considerations including highway safety, amenity, and parking. No adverse impacts identified due to no access changes, no overlooking, and detached neighbour position.
General Policy 3
Sets exceptions to countryside development. Relevant as extension to existing dwelling in countryside, assessed alongside design policies without breaching protections.
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
No above ground floor development shall commence until a schedule of materials and finishes and samples of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces, including roofs, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The development shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the approved details and retained as such thereafter.
