Environment Policy 2
Requires protection of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value (AHLV) unless development does not harm character/quality or location is essential. Officer assessed that the rear extension, due to limited public views and appropriate design, would not harm landscape character. Position behind roadside boundaries and matching finishes ensured compliance.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings where they increase public impact. Officer applied to this non-traditional bungalow; design, size, finishes, and rear location judged not to increase impact and to improve over existing flat-roofed extension.
