The lands in Hyde Park are screened from both short and long-range views by topography and existing trees. An extension to the ZO1 zoning to take in the existing structure (as in adjoining landholdings), and the entirety of the paddock field will not compromise the landscape character of the wider area, nor affect the intention of the Landscape Preservation Zone.
