ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: A pre-application consultation did not take place. You and/or your assigned agent may wish to
liaise with Planning Section prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information.
1.
It is the opinion of the Planning Authority that the changed house design does not comply with the
rural vernacular design guidance set out in Table 15.3 of the County Development Plan 2025-2031.
Specifically, the roofs appear visually heavy and disproportionate, while the front elevation window
openings lack the required vertical emphasis, balanced proportions and appropriate solid‑to‑void
ratio. Accordingly, please submit:
a. Revised drawings acceptably addressing the visual heaviness of the roofs and demonstrating an
improved vernacular roof‑to‑wall proportion. The drawings shall demonstrate accurate roof
geometry (see the sunroom projection), ensuring consistency between the floor plan and
elevations.
b. A revised front elevation fenestration providing clearer vertical emphasis, improved proportions
and a more appropriate solid‑to‑void balance, consistent with Table 15.3.
