General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design, and not adversely affect landscape character or local amenity. Officer balanced the large, poorly-designed extension against the site's screening, finding no significant public harm or unsustainable refusal grounds.

Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in Areas of High Landscape Value unless no harm or essential location. Proposal accepted as sited where screening prevents harm to character.
