The proposal involved extending a single-storey bungalow with hipped roof in open countryside near a pig farm, comprising an east elevation lounge extension with amended pitched roof, a west elevation flat-roofed en-suite replacing an existing flat-roof garage, and a north elevation porch.

The officer assessed the proposal against Housing Policy 16, which restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings if they increase public visual impact.
Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 states that the extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. The officer assessed the extensions' visual impact from the highway, finding the amended pitched roof on the east extension and screening acceptable, with the flat roof west extension not visible. This ensured no increase in prominence in open countryside.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
