The main considerations were the principle of development in the countryside, where development is restricted to protect the countryside for its own sake under General Policy 3 and Environment Policie…
General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except for specific exceptions like agricultural housing or redundant building conversions; the proposal does not fit these exceptions but was assessed as acceptable given precedents for similar domestic garage replacements that do not harm the countryside.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside and ecology for its own sake, prohibiting development with adverse effects unless overriding national need; officer assessed the proposal would not adversely affect the countryside due to its location and scale.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises protection of high landscape value areas unless development does not harm character/quality or location is essential; officer found no harm to landscape character as the building is within an existing cluster and viewed in context with farm buildings.
Environment Policy 3
Prohibits unacceptable loss or damage to woodland; mentioned as relevant due to woodland designation but not specifically assessed in detail as no adverse impact identified.
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.
