General Policy 3
Permits development outside zoned areas exceptionally, including replacement of rural dwellings and extensions to traditional properties. The officer applied this to justify the rear extension on previously approved footings in the countryside, as it fits within exceptions for rural housing alterations without adverse landscape impact.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside ecology unless overriding national need; development adversely affecting it not permitted without alternatives. Assessed the extension's scale and design as not adversely affecting the countryside setting, given limited visibility and compatibility with the traditional dwelling.
Housing Policy 15
Extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties approved if respecting proportion, form, and appearance; only exceptionally over 50% floorspace. The 21% increase and gable-ended traditional design were tested and found compliant, with scale and finish in keeping despite minor non-traditional window features.
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.
