The officer assessed the proposal against Environment Policy 17, which permits nursery developments if they are in keeping with surroundings, do not unacceptably affect residential amenity or highways…
Environment Policy 17
Policy permits nursery buildings if scale/form/design/materials keep with surroundings; no unacceptable effects on amenity/highways; no adverse character impact or major highway changes; screened from public view if appropriate. Officer assessed the polytunnels' siting (20m from road, screened by trees), dimensions (under 3m high), materials (green net over polythene), and open designs as matching existing structures, with no amenity/highway impacts, thus fully compliant.
