Policies 2-7 of Planning Circular 3/91
These policies guide the design of replacement dwellings in rural areas, requiring structures essentially on the same footprint and general size as existing. The officer assessed the proposal against this, confirming the main dwelling matches the footprint with only a modest single-storey extension, designed traditionally with material re-use. The visual impact was tested positively due to screening, satisfying the policies.
