Housing Policy 12
Permits replacement of existing countryside dwellings unless abandoned or of renovable architectural/historic interest. Officer concurred with Inspector that derelict cottage is poor form, not renovable, so principle accepted.
Housing Policy 14
Replacement must match siting/size unless environmental improvement; generally 50% max increase, on footprint, traditional design per Circular 3/91 P2-7; larger ok for poor form to traditional with less visual impact. Proposal exactly 50% increase, partial footprint overlap, no curtilage extension, traditional design satisfied tests unlike prior schemes.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside unless overriding need. Replacement falls under GP3/HP14 exception; no unwarranted encroachment as within curtilage.
Environment Policy 2
Protects AHLVSS character unless no harm. Traditional design, limited scale, and setback reduce visual impact vs existing.
Environment Policy 10
Requires FRA where flood risk. Submitted FRA with 28.3m floor level accepted by WASA.
Environment Policy 13
No unacceptable flood risk. Elevated design and location outside main floodplain mitigates.
General Policy 3
No development outside zoned areas except replacements (HP12-14). Proposal qualifies as exception.
