The proposal involves full planning approval for a first floor conservatory at the rear of Long Meadow, sitting atop an existing single-storey projection alongside an existing two-storey gable projection, with a hipped roof 0.8m lower than the gable and 1.0m lower than the main ridgeline, using white uPVC frames.

The key issue was whether the proposed first floor conservatory was acceptable for this non-traditional dwelling in a High Landscape Value area.
Environment Policy 2
Applies to areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance, but considered applicable specifically to wholly new development proposals rather than alterations to existing built development. Therefore not applied to this extension.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extension of non-traditional dwellings where it would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. Assessed against the proposal's location on a large site with long-distance views; no increase in footprint or height meant no increased visual impact, so compliant.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design (b), not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), and not harm resident amenity or locality character (g). The conservatory's scale and rear location in a secluded site with distant views ensured no adverse impacts despite its unremarkable design.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
