• 1. The overall size, massing and prominence of the proposed dwelling in relation to its countryside setting - particularly in regard to the swimming pool annex - would result in unacceptable visual and environmental detriment to the surrounding area, and would not accord with Environment Policy 1 which requires the protection of the countryside for its own sake.
• 2. The proposal does not adequately demonstrate how it would achieve the levels of environmentally sustainable design as was a reason for previous approval of a dwelling on this site. No details have been provided of proposed renewable energy provisions as per the previously approved planning applications, or how the current expanded proposal would meet the levels of landscaping and wider site design previously considered acceptable.
