The officer assessed the proposal against policies protecting countryside and landscape character, noting the site is in an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside (land outside settlements) from development that adversely affects it unless overriding national need and no alternative. Officer assessed the rear extension would not adversely affect the countryside due to its subordinate nature, screening, and minimal visibility from public roads.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value (AHLV), prioritising landscape character unless no harm or essential location. Site is designated AHLV; officer found no harm to character/quality as extension is not prominent, subordinate, and screened.
Housing Policy 15
Extensions to traditional countryside properties approved if respecting proportion, form, appearance; only exceptionally over 50% floor space. Floor area increase below 50% threshold (69sqm net after demolition); design uses traditional lean-to roof, fenestration, stone, integrating existing wall to subordinate main house.
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.
Materials approval
The external finish to the southern elevation of the extension hereby approval shall be finished in natural stone (re-used from site or elsewhere) as shown on approved drawing 03, unless otherwise agreed with the Department. Reason: in the interest of the visual amenities of the property and landscape.
