Support policy requirement to ensure enhanced landscaping on its open boundaries and avoidance of any impact on the settings of the Grade 1 listed church and conservation area.

Support Policy requirement to ensure that strong landscaping is provided to help the site fit into the surrounding rural countryside character.
