Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside (land outside settlements or non-designated areas) unless overriding national need with no alternative. Officer assessed the modest bifold doors and window alteration as not adversely affecting the countryside, thus compliant.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value unless no harm to landscape quality or essential location. Site is in such an area; officer found the proposal would not harm landscape character due to its modest scale on the southeast elevation of a traditional farmhouse.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
