Integration of new buildings into countryside landscape
New buildings in the countryside should be designed to blend unobtrusively into the landscape and integrate with their surroundings. Practical guidance on farm building design is available from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development publication 'Farm Buildings in the Countryside'.
New buildings can form an integral part of the landscape if developed in sympathy with their surroundings, so as to blend unobtrusively into the landscape. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has played an important role with a number of schemes relating to the design of farm buildings. Their publication "Farm Buildings in the Countryside" gives practical guidance on the importance of integrating modern farm buildings into the landscape.
