Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside (land outside settlements) for its own sake; development not permitted unless overriding national need and no alternative. Site is countryside but existing dwelling; garage extension assessed as not adversely affecting due to screening, despite scale.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance (AHLV); development permitted if no harm to landscape character or location essential. Proposal's harm limited by site's seclusion; would harm if more visible.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), not adversely affecting landscape character (c) or local amenity (g). Large/poorly-designed extension increases garage impact but site's screening prevents significant adverse effects.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional/poor form dwellings not permitted if increasing public impact. Non-traditional bungalow; extension increases garage impact but limited visibility means no refusal grounds.
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.
Materials matching
The development hereby approved shall, in all matters save for floor of the roof terrace, match the existing materials of the existing garage. Reason: in the interest of the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings.
