Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options
QUESTION 13: Do you agree with the proposed policy approach to extensions to residential gardens and the proposed policy wording? If not, what changes would you wish to see?

Object-the policy is badly worded and shows a lack of understanding. The policy needs to go back to referring to residential curtilage. A garden is defined in the Dictionary as an area of land to grow fruit/vegetables. That in planning terms is defined as agriculture and thus there is no change of use unless the boundary between the residential curtilage and the plot is removed. A residential curtilage is not necessarily used as a garden but often is used solely as an extension to a dwelling with all the attendant domestic paraphernalia, which has no place in open countryside.
Object to the policy because it is badly worded and shows a lack of understanding of the subject matter. The policy needs to go back to referring to residential curtilage. A garden is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as an area of land to grow fruit and vegetables. That in planning terms is defined as agriculture and thus there is no change of use of the land unless the boundary between the residential curtilage and the plot is removed. A residential curtilage is not, as your policy wording suggests, necessarily used as a garden but often is used solely as an extension to a dwelling with all the attendant domestic paraphernalia, which has no place in the open countryside.
The replacement of the words 'residential garden' with the words 'residential curtilage' would overcome the objection.

QUESTION 14: Do you agree with the policy approach to extensions, annexes, alterations and outbuildings and the wording of the respective policies? If not, what changes would you wish to see?

Object to the policies as too restrictive. The following changes are suggested:
In the preamble at para 8.57 add the words "from the Local Planning Authority" after 'planning permission'.
Retain Policy HG8 of the 2006 Local Plan and issue design guidance. It is easier to update guidance than policies.
For annexes. Option B is the preferred choice. We are concerned that the policy gives no thought to the short term needs but seems to assume all annexes will be permanent. This need not necessarily be the case.

Support the policy in principle but request amendment of the wording to allow appropriate development on existing sites where the development can be shown to be necessary to maintain local employment.
