Housing Policy 14
Requires replacement dwellings in countryside not substantially different in siting/size from original (up to 50% larger if environmental improvement), with design matching traditional materials. Officer noted replacement farmhouse exactly replicated original footprint/size, not utilising 50% allowance, preserving unique form; extension considered in this context as further respecting character.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside properties up to 50% floor space if respecting proportion/form/appearance. Proposal's 33.5% increase deemed compliant due to subordinate design based on historical evidence, sympathetic materials, and traditional fenestration; single-storey stone element accepted despite minor form deviation as it blends with barns.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
