The officer assessed the principle of development as acceptable under Housing Policy 15 for extensions to traditional countryside dwellings if high quality and subservient.
General Policy 2
Requires protection of amenity values including trees. The terrace's projection over root area would harm the Copper Beech tree's longevity, failing clause (c).
Environment Policy 3
Protects trees and woodland. Proposal lacks definitive protection plans; proximity risks significant root damage, contrary to policy.
Strategic Policy 4
Protects landscape and biodiversity. Terrace impacts high-quality tree in AHLV, detrimental to biodiversity.
Housing Policy 15
Allows extensions to traditional countryside dwellings if high quality design, proportion, form not detracting from character. Conservatory compliant; terrace disproportionate overdevelopment.

There is a high quality copper beech tree adjacent to the proposed extension and terrace. As it stands, the proposal has the potential to have a detrimental impact to the tree.; During a visit to the site I discussed the proposal with the owner who said they will be submitting amended plans to reduce the impact to the tree. Once these plans have been submitted, I will make a comment on this application.
