The application was referred to the Planning Committee due to site history and potential conflict with the development plan in countryside.
General Policy 3
Restricts development in countryside outside zoned areas except for specific exceptions like replacement of rural buildings. The officer assessed the proposal as replacement of an existing garage/store, not a new dwelling, fitting within policy objectives after design amendments removed dwelling-like features.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside and ecology for its own sake, permitting development only for overriding national need. The replacement outbuilding was deemed not to adversely affect countryside character, with Condition 3 controlling curtilage to maintain landscape.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises protection of High Landscape Value areas unless development does not harm character. Amendments ensured the simplified design would not harm landscape quality in this designated area.
Housing Policy 4
Cited in prior refusal alongside GP3 for resembling a dwelling; current scheme overcomes this by design changes.
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.
Ancillary use only
The development hereby approved may only be used in a manner incidental to, or ancillary to Ash Lodge. Reason: The site lies within an area of countryside where development, and particularly new dwellings are discouraged in the interests of sustainable development.
Residential curtilage limit
The residential curtilage does not extend to the full extent of the area shown within the red line as defined in the application and should reflect that shown in PA 15/00463/B. No approval is hereby granted or implied to the use of all of the area shown in red for residential purposes nor are the provisions of the Permitted Development Order applicable to all of that area. Reason: In order to control the character and appearance of the countryside in accordance with Environment Policy 1.
