Housing Policy 15
Applies to extensions to traditional dwellings in the countryside. The officer assessed the existing dwelling as not traditional due to prior alterations and extensions, so HP15 was not applied.
Housing Policy 16
Applies to extensions to non-traditional dwellings in the countryside and requires that they do not increase the visual impact of the dwelling. The single-storey timber-clad extension, screened from roads and linked by glazing, does not increase visual impact and accords with the policy.
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.
