Environment Policy 2
Requires protection of landscape character in AHLVs unless no harm or essential location. Officer assessed rear extension's impact, finding no adverse effect due to site's invisibility from highway, screening by outbuildings, and minimal scale relative to site.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside dwellings if respecting proportion/form/appearance and not exceeding 50% floorspace. Extension at 80m² (~50% of 79.6m² existing) deemed to respect existing property; farmhouse has some traditional fenestration per Circular 3/91.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional/poor form dwellings if increasing public impact. Property has lost some traditional traits but low visibility; extension uses traditional form to enhance appearance without substantially increasing impact.
Strategic Plan Paragraph 7.4.1
Requires higher design standards in AHLVs with sensitive integration via scale, materials, style. Traditional style extension enhances property and integrates into landscape despite location in sensitive area.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
