The officer assessed whether the alterations adversely affect the appearance and character of the existing property and the amenities of the adjoining dwelling at No.1 Knocksharry Cottages.
Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form, and appearance of existing property, with permission only exceptionally over 50% floor space increase. Officer assessed the proposal complies as it differs little from existing rear extension and matches adjoining cottage more closely, with no public visibility.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings (siting, layout, scale, form, design), not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, and not harm resident amenity. Officer found proposal acceptable as rear extension not publicly visible, similar to existing/adjoining, and no amenity loss to neighbour from height increase due to no side windows.
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.
