The officer assessed the main consideration as whether the proposed extension respects the proportion, form, and appearance of the existing property under Housing Policy 15.
Environment Policy 2
Requires protection of landscape character in Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value unless development does not harm it or the location is essential. The officer assessed the proposal and concluded it would not harm the character and quality of the landscape.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties only if they respect proportion, form, and appearance, and exceptionally if not exceeding 50% of existing floor space. The modest extension was found appropriate in design, proportion, and form, and below the 50% threshold.
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.
