The proposal involved three extensions to the existing dwelling. The main element was a two-storey side extension measuring 3.7m wide, 8.2m deep, and 7.5m to the ridge. A single-storey sunroom was proposed on the southern elevation of that extension, at 3.3m wide, 5.6m deep, and 4.5m high. A further single-storey rear extension was proposed at 5.1m wide, 3.3m deep, and up to 4.6m high. The site sits within an area zoned as High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance, making landscape impact the primary planning consideration. The officer concluded that, given the boundary treatments, the design, and the distance of the extensions from the highway, the proposal would not harm the character of the landscape or the residential amenity of nearby properties.
The extensions were judged acceptable because their design, proportion, and massing would not harm the character or quality of the landscape, and their distance from the highway and boundary treatments meant no adverse visual impact.
