General Policy 3
Presumes against development in undesignated countryside where protection is paramount. Officer found existing dwelling allows extensions under HP16; proposal does not unacceptably harm building characteristics or countryside character due to screening.
Housing Policy 16
Extensions to non-traditional countryside dwellings not permitted if increasing public visual impact. Assessed as compliant as works modernise and improve appearance without increasing impact, given site's enclosure in mature landscaping; porch respects existing flat-roofed elements.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside outside settlements unless overriding need; development adversely affecting it not permitted. Proposal fits seamlessly with existing fabric, improves site appearance without countryside harm due to screening and rural character retention.
Environment Policy 4
Protects biodiversity. Minimal vegetation removal in managed turfed areas with no tree loss results in negligible impacts, overridden by rural character retention.
General Policy 2
General development standards including neighbour amenity. No impacts on neighbours due to 60m+ separation and screening; no public amenity harm.
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.
