General Policy 2
General Policy 2 requires development to respect the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design, and landscaping (b), and not adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape (c). The officer assessed the extension against these, finding it compliant due to its rear position, matching traditional design, and limited visibility in the rural context, despite the unzoned countryside location where residential principle is established.
Environment Policy 1
ENV1 protects countryside outside settlements or designated areas from adverse development unless overriding national need exists. The officer implied compliance as the proposal does not adversely affect countryside ecology or character, with residential use pre-established.
Environment Policy 3
ENV3 prevents unacceptable loss or damage to woodland areas of amenity or conservation value. The site is in 'Woodland' area but no specific woodland impact raised; officer confirmed no adverse countryside amenity effect.
