Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 relates to extensions to properties in the countryside and states that the extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. The officer assessed that the proposed works are almost entirely restricted to the rear of the building, not readily visible from the public thoroughfare, so would not increase the building's impact.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
