The Planning Committee and appeal inspector determined the proposal unacceptable due to its disproportionate scale, siting, and curtilage extension in a designated Area of High Landscape or Coastal Va…
Planning Circular 1/88 Residential Housing in the Country
Discourages residential development in countryside, recognising its fragility; allows sympathetic replacement of existing dwellings but examines with particular care significant size increases that create detrimental visual impact or loss of character. Officer/inspector assessed proposal as significant increase (194% footprint) with relocated siting and curtilage extension harming open character.
Housing Policy 14
Replacement dwellings generally on original footprint with ≤150% external floor area unless changes improve environment; design per Circular 3/91. Proposal exceeded limits (194% footprint, nearly 200% floorspace), full two-storey mass more obtrusive than existing, siting further from road increased prominence without environmental gain.
Environment Policy 3
Prohibits development harming character/quality of designated landscapes unless essential. Site in High Landscape/Coastal Value area; proposal's scale, mass, accesses, and curtilage encroachment would detract from openness and scenic significance.
no objections provided that the proposed dwelling will be built in keeping with similar dwellings in the surrounding area
no objection; recommends smoke detectors
