Housing Policy 14
Policy requires replacement dwellings in countryside not substantially different in size from existing (max 50% greater floor area, measured externally excluding attic/outbuildings) unless changes improve environment, and generally on existing footprint. Officer calculated existing 200m², approved 288m², proposal 448m² (150% increase), breaching limit with no environmental improvement justification. This was the primary reason for refusal recommendation.
Housing Policy 15
Policy relates to extensions/alterations of existing traditionally styled countryside properties. Officer noted proposal not true extension as no work started on approved dwelling, redirecting assessment to HP14 instead.
no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice
