General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except in specified exceptions like replacement dwellings or essential agriculture. Site in countryside; proposal assessed as extension to existing dwelling but exceptionally large, relying on prior approval precedent despite general presumption against new development.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside outside settlements unless overriding national need. Proposal accepted due to minimal impact on countryside ecology, supported by screening and limited visibility.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in Areas of High Landscape Value unless no harm or essential location. Site in AHLV; extension's impact limited by screening, though modern design diverges from traditional.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside properties only where respecting proportion/form/appearance, exceptionally over 50% floorspace. 279% increase exceeds limit but exceptionally approved per prior similar scheme where screening preserved cottage character; current officer noted wide policy interpretation.
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.
