Housing Policy 14
Policy limits replacement dwellings to the same footprint and no more than 50% larger floor area unless changes result in overall environmental improvement or more traditional character with less visual impact. The proposal exceeds this at 215% increase, contrary to the policy, but was accepted due to weight given to commenced prior approval 04/01353/B which predated the policy. Minor fenestration change did not alter massing or visual impact.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLV), prioritising landscape character unless development shown not to harm it. Site is in such an area; amendments assessed as having no adverse impacts on landscape character or visual amenities.
