Two storey extension to existing outbuilding following the demolition of the existing metal access stairs and balcony. New dormer. New Canopy. Alterations to fenestration

1. The proposed alterations and extensions to the existing outbuilding, by reason of their mass, scale, and independent functionality, would transform the modest ancillary structure into a four-bedroom residential unit, amounting to a new dwelling in the countryside that is unacceptable in principle under Policy S5 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036). This increased scale would also fail to respect the host dwelling and rural character of the countryside, contrary to Policies DM1 and DM26 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036), Quality Places SPD (2011), and the contents of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. Note to Applicant: The application was refused following the assessment of the following plan: 510_03. In accordance with paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), Eastleigh Borough Council takes a positive approach to the handling of development proposals so as to achieve, whenever possible, a positive outcome and to ensure all proposals are dealt with in a timely manner.
