DM4 Replacement, Extension or Alteration of Existing Residential Dwellings in the Countryside beyond the Green Belt

Replacement, extension of or alterations to residential dwellings in the countryside beyond the Green Belt will be supported where:

  • The proposal would not have a detrimental impact on rural character through its siting or design; and
  • The extension or alteration is not disproportionate in size and scale, including its overall floorspace, bulk and height, when compared to the original dwelling; or
  • The replacement dwelling is not materially larger than the existing dwelling it replaces, taking into account increases in overall floorspace, bulk and height.
