Paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) offers planning permission for isolated homes in rural settings that demonstrate outstanding architectural quality. This policy aims to enhance the character of the countryside by encouraging innovative designs that resonate with the local environment. Key elements that qualify under this provision include exceptional quality of architecture, a positive impact on the immediate surroundings, and a sensitivity to local characteristics. This contrasts with previous requirements, emphasizing a higher bar for what constitutes acceptable rural development.
"Paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework allows for the development of isolated homes in rural areas, provided they exhibit exceptional design quality and enhance their surroundings."
"This policy, by elevating design standards, seeks to counter the trend of unremarkable housing developments, prioritizing both uniqueness and environmental considerations in rural architecture."
