The officer assessed compliance with Housing Policy 15, noting the proposed floor area increase fell below the 50% cap since much replaced existing structures, with net gain only from the upper floor …
Housing Policy 15
HP15 permits extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties only if they respect proportion, form, and appearance, and exceptionally if not exceeding 50% additional floorspace. The officer measured the proposal against the 50% cap (satisfied as net gain limited to upper floor), and found design sympathetic: continuation of roof line, pitched slate sun room replacing uPVC conservatory. No tension noted; fully compliant.
