Discharge of Condition No. 9 of DC/22/3591/FUL - Erection of 3 no. office units with a Class E (g)(i) use class. that development achieves a high-quality design, which is responsive and sympathetic to its surroundings. The existing units on site adopt a traditional agricultural barn vernacular utilising red brick and weatherboarded elevations with pantile roof. The proposed units would be of a similar form, scale and appearance of the existing units, specifically the units to the south of the site, but the proposed units would incorporate rooflights to enable floor space to be accommodated within the roof. The proposed units would utilise an area vacant maintained land, adjoining the existing business units. The of site is of a significant size to accommodate the proposed building and associated parking without it appearing cramped or contrived. By way of location and form, the proposed development would not detrimentally affect the wider landscape - Precise details of a tree and/or hedge planting scheme

Removal of hedges planted in the 1980's as windbreaks when the land was used for ornamental nursery production of trees and roses, maritime pine being chosen for their lack of biological host of pest and diseases and limited biodiversity. Removal of these hedges will now enable better agricultural cropping of the landwith reduced run off / soil erosion. Presently cropping is up and down the slope but with the hedges removed we will be able to crop across the slope as we switch the land over to organic production.
