RUD9 - GARAGES AND OTHER ANCILLARY DOMESTIC BUILDINGS IN THE CURTILAGE OF DWELLINGS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Where planning permission is required, new garages and other ancillary domestic buildings in the countryside outside the settlement areas of the villages identified in Policies RUD1, RUD2 and RUD3 will normally be permitted provided they:

are not excessive in size having regard to the size of the dwelling they are to serve;
do not constitute a dominant feature, having regard to the scale of the existing dwelling nor detract from the rural character or appearance of the locality;
are not readily capable of subsequent conversion to residential accommodation;
are not to replace an existing garage that has been converted to residential use;
are for ancillary domestic purposes only.
