Protects countryside from adverse development unless overriding need. No landscape harm as extension screened, no tree/hedge removal, and site accommodates sensitively within existing large grounds.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character in Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value unless no harm or essential location. Extension not visible from public views, fully screened, causing no harm to character or quality.
