Officer assessed landscaping amendments as not adversely affecting the countryside, with acceptable visual and amenity impact, thus complying as no overriding need was required.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value (AHLV) unless development does not harm landscape quality or location is essential. Site is in AHLV; officer found revised red line and fencing would not harm character or quality, presenting a more logical arrangement and positive contribution via planting.
