Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 states 'The extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public'. The officer tested the proposal's siting (33m from road, 13.4m setback from building line, screened by trees), scale (22% ground floor increase but lower height), and design (matching render, subservient form) against this, concluding it does not increase public impact due to limited visibility from passing traffic.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
