Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form, and appearance, with permission only exceptionally over 50% floorspace. Officer found compliance as prior extensions already exceed 50%, and proposal matches existing scale/design without harming traditional front character visible from public views.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings where they would increase public visual impact. Officer applied to south elevation (non-traditional due to prior extensions), concluding minimal impact from extension's position, complying when viewing property as a whole.
General Policy 2
Covers development control including design, amenity, and highways. Officer considered these relevant; design respects surroundings, no amenity or highways harm.
General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except stated exceptions (not including dwelling extensions). Officer noted site not zoned but allowed via Housing Policies 15/16 exceptions for countryside residential extensions.
Environment Policy 1
Prevents development adversely affecting countryside except exceptionally. Officer referenced via Strategic Plan para 8.12.2; proposal does not detract from countryside amenities.
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.
