The officer noted the site is on unzoned 'white land' but found the rear extension acceptable under General Policy 3 as an exception for alterations to existing rural dwellings.
General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except specific cases including alterations to existing rural dwellings. Officer assessed the rear extension as fitting this exception due to its limited scale and screened location, with no landscape impact.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties if respecting proportion, form, and appearance; only exceptionally over 50% floorspace. Proposal was well under 50%, used common traditional design, and respected existing property.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
