The key issue was whether the extension increases the impact of the non-traditional dwelling as viewed by the public, per Housing Policy 16.
Environment Policy 1
Presumption against development in High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance areas. Provision exists in Strategic Plan for extensions to existing properties, allowing this proposal despite the sensitive location.
Environment Policy 2
Reinforces ENV1 presumption against development. Assessed alongside extension provisions, finding the proposal acceptable.
General Policy 3
General policy applicable to sensitive landscape areas. Proposal aligns via specific housing policies for extensions.
Housing Policy 15
Applies to traditional properties; officer applied HP16 instead as site is non-traditional (not poor form but lacking traditional style), testing extension impact.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional dwellings not permitted if increasing public visual impact. Assessed from two viewpoints; changes (closer facade, more glazing) do not significantly increase impact due to site context and distance, passing the policy test.
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.
