  • the proportion of the site remaining free from buildings would not decrease significantly; and
  • adequate garden space would remain to serve the existing dwelling; and
  • adequate off-street car parking would be retained to meet the standards in accordance with policy TR7; and
  • the building would not adversely affect the character or amenities of the landscape, nearby properties or the locality in general, for example through overdominance, obtrusiveness or the carrying out of noisy activities and would be in accordance with policy EP3 (Use, Design and Layout of Development); and
  • the proposal would conform with the guidelines set out in Appendix 8; and
  • the proposal would comply with all other policies in the Plan. Particular attention is drawn to Policy GB10 (Extensions to Dwellings in the Green Belt).
