I question the innate value of the current edge of village panorama. It has arisen through happenstance. The example shown consists of views of a rural exception site and commercial buildings. These are not exceptional or particularly attractive views
I strongly agree with the use of tree and hedge planting at boundaries (and within the new developments) and we already use lower density at the edge of developments to soften those boundaries. (These buffers can also improve bio-diversity.)
In fact, I would commend the use of tree planting along the primary routes of the village as a way of improving the ambience of the village as well as their beneficial effects on air quality.
