In the context of Column 1 of the Village Type Development zone the use 'House', properly construed with regard to the Definitions and Explanatory Statement and the planning intention to retain low-rise village character, does not include a 33-storey block of flats; therefore the proposed development contravenes the OZP and the Building Authority's refusal to approve the plans was upheld, so the plaintiff's declarations are refused.
