Description
Retrospective application for the retention of a detached timber outbuilding for incidental domestic use as a home office/leisure/exercise room, with WC facilities, ancillary to the main dwelling. The outbuilding is largely screened from public view by established Leylandii planting and existing trees and shrubs. Only a limited portion of the structure is briefly visible from the public highway at the end of the driveway. As a result, the development has no material adverse impact on the character or appearance of the surrounding rural area.
