DMD 12 Outbuildings

Proposals for outbuildings will only be permitted if all of the following criteria are met:

  • The building must be ancillary to the use as a residential dwelling;
  • The design should have regard to topography;
  • It should not normally project forward of the front building line;
  • Maintain an adequate distance from the dwelling and be of an appropriate height and bulk so as not to adversely impact on the character of the local area and amenities of neighbouring properties;
  • The size, scale and siting of the development must not have an unacceptable impact on the adjoining properties in line with relevant criteria in DMD 8 ‘General Standards for New Residential Development’.

This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policy 4.
