The Sedgemoor landscape assessment and countryside design SPD identifies the site as being on the edge of the Lowland Hills character area. Key characteristics of this area include unmanaged hedgerows and small woodlands, both of which help building being absorbed into the landscape. The site sits within Nation Character Area 146 of Taunton & Quantock fringes. The area has lush pastoral character and provides an ecological link The Brendon Hills & Quantock Hills. There is a considerable variety with the character, united by its lowland mix farming landscape. The dense hedging, vast woodland and a settlement pattern add more character.
The layout of the building is reminiscent of a traditional courtyard of agricultural buildings and sits comfortably on the site. None of the dwellings will be visible from the highway or surrounding land due to the enclosed nature of the site.
