Proposal

Proposed changes to the house include the introduction of a single storey side/rear extension with a mono pitched roof (living room), a single storey side extension with an intersecting gable roof (dining room), altering and adding new doors and windows to three sides of the house, removal of the chimney stack and pots on the north end of house and installation of zinc cladding to the rear. Also, convert the detached garage building into a home office by swapping a window on the south face for a new access door, replacing the roller shutter door on the east gable for a glazed wall and inserting 6 new rooflights on to the roof.

Site constraints 2

Green belt: Tyne and Wear
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm.
Agricultural land, grade 3a
Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Predicted from the national soil map. The older provisional map agrees.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
