The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2, noting it accords with the Mixed Use zoning on the Area Plan for the South 2013 and is similar to the previous approval under PA 10/00306/B.…
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, does not harm landscape/townscape character, protects resident amenities/locality character, and provides satisfactory standards including access/parking. The officer found the barn conversion complies fully, as it fits Mixed Use zoning, causes no harmful alterations, provides amenity space, and highway impacts are acceptable via nearby public parking.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Use restriction
The barn conversion shall be used only for family and friends of those occupying the main dwelling or as tourist accommodation. The building shall not be used as a separate permanent dwelling. No persons shall occupy or use the accommodation hereby approved for a single period or cumulative periods exceeding 28 days in any calendar year. Reason: To prevent use of the premises as a permanent dwellinghouse.
