Environment Policy 1

Environment Policy 2
Policy presumes against development in areas of Scenic Significance. Officer found the proposal acceptable in principle as a domestic facility, with the extension's position, size, and appearance not harming landscape character due to existing screening and contextual fit.
Time limit
