1.The proposal while smaller than the previous submission is still of large scale in relation to most residential annex or ancillary buildings and lacks the capacity for integration into the main dwelling house upon cessation of proposed purpose. It is therefore considered to conflict with emergent Local Plan Part 2 policy H9 for extensions and ancillary buildings, where the scale of extensions should be in character with the setting, and policy H10 for residential annexes where this proposal is of similar length to the main house and therefore while smaller not truly subsidiary and where reintegration is more difficult as a result of detachment. Furthermore, policies H9 and H10 are given significant weight as they are due to be adopted as part of the Development Plan in December 2021, and are considered consistent with up-to-date and adopted policies CS09 and CS2 as well as the objectives of the NPPF regarding securing appropriate design.
2.This proposal will have adverse impact on the wider landscape by expanding the barn group in a manner that is alien to that groups current form, and while there is prospect of mitigation by additional hedge plantation in a landscape that is greatly defined by enclosure hedges this impact is not mitigated in the current proposal and is therefore considered to conflict with policy CS11 - Enhancing the natural environment requires the safeguarding and where possible enhancement of the borough's wider landscape character, in accordance with the findings of the borough's and the Broads Authority's Landscape Character Assessment.
