General Policy 2
Sets general development control standards connected to Residential Design Guidance. Assessed against design detail (subordinate and in keeping), neighbouring amenity (no overlooking or loss of light), and found compliant with no harm.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional dwellings in countryside not permitted if increasing public impact. Proposal to rear of garage is subordinate, minimally visible publicly, and seen as residential extension, thus not increasing impact.
General Policy 3
Development not permitted outside zoned areas except stated exceptions (not including dwelling extensions). Site in 'not for development' zone but exception via HP16 for residential extensions that do not detract from countryside.
Spatial Policy 5
New development should positively contribute to Island's environment. Proposal deemed acceptable in design and minimal impact.
Environment Policy 1
Prevents development adversely affecting sites except exceptionally. No adverse impacts identified on amenity or environment.
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.
No Highways Interest.
