Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside outside settlements or non-designated areas from adverse development unless overriding national need exists. Officer assessed the replacement summerhouse in woodland-zoned countryside and found no harm to character or quality due to modest scale, rear siting, and screening, allowing compliance despite location.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design, landscape character, amenities, and habitats. Officer confirmed proposal met criteria (b), (c), (g) via low height (2.4m), cedar finish, rear position, and no amenity impacts, with no issues on access, safety, or services.
Environment Policy 3
Prohibits unacceptable loss/damage to woodland of amenity/conservation value. Site boundaries have mature landscaping/woodland, but officer noted no adverse effects from modest structure replacement.
