Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside for its own sake; development must not have adverse impact. Officer found no unacceptable visual or other impacts from the modest porch replacement.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional countryside dwellings if increasing public visual impact. Proposal does not increase impact and improves appearance with stone cladding subordinate to main dwelling.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design without harming landscape character. Porch respects rural context despite flat roof, as existing has similar form.
Housing Policy 15
For extensions to traditional countryside dwellings; must respect proportion, form, appearance; limited to 50% floorspace increase. Not primary policy as dwelling non-traditional, but officer noted equal acceptability.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
