Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed extension is acceptable with regard to development plan policy, and if not, whether other material considerations have been demonstrated such that they would justify a departure from the development plan
What decided it
The proposed extension would increase the dwelling's floor area by approximately 68%, significantly exceeding the 30% limit in Policy 3.7 and the 106 sqm threshold for agricultural worker dwellings, conflicting with policy objectives to maintain housing mix and affordability without material considerations to justify departure from the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 3.7, Policy 3.9, Policy 3.10, Strategic Policy 1.1, Strategic Policy 1.2, Strategic Policy 1.5
