Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside (land outside settlements) unless overriding national need and no alternative. The proposal was found not to adversely affect the countryside character in this High Landscape Value area, as it preserves stained glass and has acceptable visual appearance.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of High Landscape/Coastal Value areas unless development does not harm landscape quality or location is essential. Assessed as not harming landscape character due to retention of stained glass and acceptable visual impact from new frames and encapsulation.
Environment Policy 34
Prefers traditional materials for maintenance/alteration of pre-1920 buildings. New timber frames match existing style, using traditional materials appropriate for the church.
