The proposed alterations and extensions to the property to allow for the construction of a link building, gable extension and dormer windows would significantly increase the habitable floor space considerably more than the specified limit of 30% as stated in Policy CO17 of the NYM Local Plan. The increase in the overall habitable footprint would have a detrimental impact on the mix of dwelling types needed to sustain balanced communities within the National Park; therefore failing to adhere to the Authority's Adopted Policies.
The proposed extensions and alterations, by reason of scale, bulk and design, would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding open countryside setting and therefore fail to reflect the requirements of Strategic Policy C of the NYM Local Plan.
