Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form, and appearance of existing property; over 50% floorspace increase only exceptionally. Officer measured 59% increase for single storey interpretation but rejected this due to two-storey visual appearance from height, ridgeline, and windows; potential for future first floor use would reach 96%, failing policy test for countryside character protection.
Policies 2-7 (inclusive) of Planning Circular 3/91
Deal with design, proportion, and massing for extensions to traditional dwellings. Massing and proportion in keeping with existing, but finishes (timber boarding), extensive glazing, and covered terrace non-compliant; remains applicable despite noted intention to revise.
Do not oppose. Has no traffic management, parking or road safety implications.
No objections.
