Environment Policy 1
EP1 protects the countryside (land outside settlements or not designated for development) for its own sake, permitting development only if there is overriding national need outweighing protection and no reasonable alternative. The officer assessed that the rear extension, subordinate to the main house and largely screened from public views, would not harm the character and quality of the landscape or adversely affect the countryside.
Housing Policy 15
HP15 allows extensions/alterations to traditionally styled countryside properties only if they respect the proportion, form, and appearance of the existing property, and exceptionally only if not exceeding 50% of existing floor space.

Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
