Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside (land outside settlements or non-designated areas) from development with adverse effects unless overriding national need exists. The officer assessed that the resulting development would not harm the character and quality of the landscape, given the modest scale and screening.
General Policy 2
Permits development in accordance with Area Plans and other policies if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not harm landscape character, amenity, highways, etc. The officer confirmed compliance as the proposal meets 'Development Control' issues without adverse effects.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional or poor-form dwellings if they increase public visual impact. Tested against the front extension's location and scale; initial flat roof concerns overcome by amendment, resulting in little/no visual impact from public views.
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.
