Officer's Report
The application site is set in an area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance.
The proposal is set back from the public highway. The existing shed is to be removed and replaced with this proposal. The proposal will not exceed the ridge height of the existing single storey extension to the main house. The proposal will only be partially obscured by an existing hedge and hawthorn tree. I do not feel the proposal will cause any significant harm to the visual amenities of the street scene.
To the rear of the application site is open countryside. The proposal will be visible from the surrounding fields. However, this is a small development which is ancillary to the dwellinghouse. The shed will be constructed out of timber. The appearance will blend into the existing landscaping. I consider the impact on the visual amenities of the surrounding locality to have been significant reduced.
