Housing Policy 15

Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside/ecology for its own sake outside settlements/zones; no development adversely affecting unless overriding need/no alternative. Given existing dwelling, officer prioritised and found no unacceptable countryside harm from modest extensions.
Environment Policy 2
Protects AHLV/scenic significance character unless no harm or essential location. Officer assessed extensions would not harm landscape character/quality; modest scale neater appearance in public view, unifying buildings without undue impact.
