Housing Policy 16
HP16 restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings where they would increase public visual impact. The officer assessed the rear extension's size and site's screening by sod banks and gorse, concluding it would have little visual impact from public views, thus complying.
Environment Policy 1
ENV1 protects countryside outside settlements from developments adversely affecting it unless overriding need. The site is in countryside not designated for development; the officer found the development would not harm landscape character and quality due to limited visibility.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
