The officer assessed the principle of development in open countryside under Environment Policy 1, noting exemptions for rural dwelling extensions but restricting those increasing public visual impact …
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside for its own sake; extensions to rural dwellings permitted if no adverse impact. Assessed as no harm since rear extension to amenity area, not loss of open countryside.
Environment Policy 2
Development in AHLV must not harm landscape character. Rear location and subordinate design ensured no adverse effect on scenic quality.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional countryside dwellings not permitted if increasing public visual impact. Modest scale, lower ridge, matching pitch/materials, and limited public views meant no significant increase in impact.
General Policy 2
Requires respect for site/surroundings in design, scale, and amenity without adverse landscape or resident impacts. Proposal's subservience, matching features, and lack of amenity harm complied fully.
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.
