General Policy 2
GP2 is the most appropriate policy given the countryside location where General Policy 3 presumes against new development except specific exceptions (residential garages not included). The officer considered the nature and scale of the garage ancillary to the replacement dwelling, finding it acceptable in relation to the site's generous curtilage and extant approvals.
General Policy 3
GP3 outlines a general presumption against new development in the countryside with specific exceptions; garages are not excepted but permitted development rights allow them outside Conservation Areas. The proposal was assessed favourably under GP2 instead due to its limited scale and relation to the approved dwelling.
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.
Incidental use only
The building hereby approved shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes incidental to the residential use of the dwelling currently under construction and currently known as Sandygate House as identified on the approved plans. Reason: To ensure proper control of the development and to avoid any future undesirable fragmentation of the curtilage.
no objection

Key concern: garage is becoming more like a dwelling which could easily be converted into living accommodation in an area not zoned for such development
