Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of the countryside in Areas of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance. Officer assessed chimney removal and patio doors would cause no harm to landscape character given non-traditional dwelling and structural necessity.
Environment Policy 2
Overriding consideration for protecting countryside. Alterations found not to adversely affect character of surrounding landscape.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions/alterations to non-traditional countryside dwellings where increasing public visual impact. Proposal does not increase impact: chimney loss acceptable due to safety and dwelling's modern profile; patio doors match existing.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in design, scale, form and not adversely affect landscape character or residential amenity. Satisfied as no visual harm or amenity impacts (overlooking, overbearing, overshadowing).
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.
