The officer considered the proposal against Housing Policy 15, which tests extensions on unzoned rural dwellings for impacts on proportion, form, and appearance.
Housing Policy 15
HP15 assesses extensions to existing rural dwellings outside development zones for impacts on the dwelling's proportion, form, and appearance. The officer judged the extensions acceptable despite the side extension's large mass, as it sets behind the frontage with a lower roof apex preserving the traditional core's visibility, improving on the detracting conservatories.
Environment Policy 2
ENV2 requires development in sensitive landscapes to respect character. Compliance followed from satisfying HP15, with the site's enclosure by trees and elevated position minimising visibility.
General Policy 2
GP2 sets general development criteria including design and landscape fit. The proposal met this through subordinate design elements and appearance improvements.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
