The original application sought permission for an extension to the dwelling including a double garage, utility room, store, and first-floor playroom/guest room, refused by the Planning Committee citing Circular 3/89 on renovation of buildings in the countryside. Appellants argued the extension was modest, sympathetic in design, not precluded by prior circulars, and the area constituted a hamlet allowing development. The inspector found the extension non-modest, increasing bulk and massing contrary to Circular 3/89, and dismissed hamlet arguments as the area remained predominantly rural. The appeal was dismissed on 10 January 2001 by Mr. R. E. Quine acting as deputy to the Minister.
Precedent Value
Demonstrates strict application of Circular 3/89 to previously renovated countryside buildings - no further non-essential extensions regardless of family need or design sympathy. Future applicants must prove modesty, essentiality per Building Byelaws, and avoid cumulative expansion.
Inspector: Trevor Graham
