The officer considered the key issues to be visual impact on public views and whether the self-contained ancillary unit constitutes a new dwelling in the countryside, contrary to policy.
General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except specified exceptions including previously developed land with buildings where redevelopment reduces landscape impact. Officer assessed site as 'white land' with existing dwelling; extension on curtilage improves use without adverse countryside impact, fitting the exception.
Housing Policy 4
New housing in countryside only in exceptional cases like agricultural housing, conversions or replacements. Officer confirmed extension does not create new dwelling, thus not requiring exception; ancillary to existing rural dwelling on previously developed land.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional or poor form dwellings not permitted if increasing public visual impact. Proposal to contemporary dwelling is modest, screened, within curtilage; does not increase impact as viewed from public roads.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans
This approval relates to the erection of a linked extension to dwelling to provide ancillary living accommodation as proposed in the submitted documents and drawings P10-202 and P10-203 all received on 28th October 2013.
Ancillary use only
The ancillary accommodation hereby approved may be used only in association with the main dwelling house "The Rheast" and for purposes incidental to the use of main dwelling house "The Rheast" as a single dwelling and for no commercial purposes.
