The application was permitted. The extension will not add considerably to the size of the property and will not be visible from the public highway. Despite the site being in an area of high landscape or coastal value, scenic significance, and ecological interest, it was found acceptable.
The extension or alteration of existing traditionally styled properties in the countryside will normally only be approved where these respect the proportion form and appearance of the existing property. Only exceptionally will permission be granted for extensions which measure more than 50% of the existing building in terms of floor space (measured externally).
