The officer assessed two key issues: impact on landscape character and whether the extension would increase the public view impact of the non-traditional farmhouse.
General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except on previously developed land where redevelopment reduces landscape impact and improves the environment. The officer applied the exception as the proposal replaces derelict structures on existing footprints, enhancing the site's appearance without adverse countryside effects.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside from adverse development unless overriding national need. Site screening by mature trees ensures no visibility from public roads, so proposal causes no harm and improves dated structures.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings if increasing public view impact. Farmhouse lacks traditional double cube form but is not poor/inappropriate; extension enhances appearance without visibility from public vantage, so no policy breach.
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.
