In addition, the proposal accords with the local policy requirements (Policies CS4, CS5, CS7, CS17, CS19, DC1 and REG12 and REG13 of the Council's Local Development Framework and the policies of the emerging local plan). In particular, the proposal has been designed so the appearance is complementary to their surroundings and so that they will not prejudice the appearance of the area and will not significantly affect any landscaping nor prevent adequate and safe operation of the highway. The application is therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which would indicate that the development should be refused.
